Talk:Forerunner email

I believe the keeper of the flame to be guilty spark. He is not the only one out there. others will come....and we will go to war.

e-mail
hey i sent an email like that to like 50 people mabey it was one of them

History winding back on itself

this is a reference to the forerunners war with the flood which the glaxy now faces again

and the keepers of the flame are clearly forerunner, keepers of the flam because only they can activagte the halos only they can burn away the dead which do not die

The first verse seems like Yeats' "The Second Coming":

"The gears of the Universe spin further and further apart.

Ever greater grows the gulf between souls,

And distance gives false hope of safety

But for the grim tidings this messenger bears" - Forerunner Email

"Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world" - The Second Coming, WB Yeats

Part One Meaning
I think the first part of the email means that either the Universe is starting to separateBold text more and more, or it means Humanity is starting to colonize farthing away from Earth, and Earth's population is nearly 0. And also the farther away the colonized planet Humans are on are in increasing danger because of the Covenant. I am not sure who is the messenger, the grim tidings, and gulfs and souls.--SalemElliot 03:43, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
