Hi Emu Angel - Nationality and Names are very important in the UK. My name John (The Gift of God) and Knight (A Loyal Servant of the Queen) and I gurd it with my life. Losing an percentage of one's Nationality or Name os mo deal at all whatever is being offered. An enigmatic poem - capable of multifaceted interpretation - for this I score it TEN. Love in poetry - JOHN.

Before the holiday, most of what the voice does that is native is imbibed in her. During the holiday, what she imbibes in her both native and foreign is 50: 50. After the holiday, the character has imbibed most of what is foreign in her. An interesting piece.
