The enigma is then why my Monday brain fuzzies have continued all day today :) Lol, I know you weren’t, I just meant I wasn’t clear on which reply was your own personal interpretation of the quote itself.

Perhaps it is the quote that is enigmatic... Or perhaps I saw something in the quote that wasn't intended by Byron ;-) I didn’t intend to be enigmatic… Perhaps it is the quote that is enigmatic…

(The above just incorporating other commenters' contributions regarding recent events that perhaps humans could behave more like the tides by rolling on, and not letting adversity stop us). In other words, my interpretation is similar to your reply to Astrid, I guess. However, since you stated no one thus far has interpreted the way you have, I've no clue. Care to share the full interpretation or are you having too much fun with us by being enigmatic today? ;) PS - I'd comment on your trip to London, but I've said far too much already as I usually do. So I'll just say it was probably not good time for a crazy ride ending in a "bang," as you said, but I'm glad everyone returned home safely :) Let’s put down that my “official” interpretation was actually that humans and animals are actually powerless against the ocean tide, we only give ourselves the illusion of control of it.

People find it funny that such a legendary powerhouse of a football team is named after something so "passive" and "peaceful" like an ocean tide, rather than a more formidable type of animal or human, but if you think about it, it makes sense - not only are the tides actually very powerful, unlike humans or animals, ocean tides are also unstoppable - so "roll tide" is then is encouragement cheer for the team to just keep rolling like the unstoppable tide, despite men on their backs and adversity :) I’m interpreting this quote a little differently than others, I guess – though not an Alabama fan, for some reason, the quote reminds me of the cheer given by fans of the The Alabama Crimson Tide (powerhouse American college football team) – “Roll Tide!”
