Sydney Marie HughesDo not think me a maiden who needs saving from a dragon. I am the dragon, and I will set the world aflame.
About This Quote
The quote, "I am the dragon, and I will set the world aflame" by Edith Sitwell is an interesting one. It starts out as a declaration that she is no damsel in distress, but rather the "dragon" herself. But then comes the twist. She says, "I will set the world aflame." This is a very unusual thing to say.
The world has never been what you would call on fire. So, if she sets it on fire, who sets it on fire? Presumably she does this herself, but what kind of person would want to burn down the world? And why wouldn't she be happy with just setting it on fire?
