Meanings

Light

Sticking with it for the duration

Fulfilling your promises and obligations

Bearing up under incredible duress

Dragging yourself across the finish line

Picking yourself up by your own bootstraps

Refusing to quit

Going as far as you can go and being satisfied with your performance

Shadow

Making yourself a martyr

Abandoning your post

Giving up at the first sign of opposition

Being prevented from fulfilling an obligation

Failing to be dependable

Refusing to let something go that needs to be released

Beating a dead horse

Description

The figure leans upon his staff and has an expectant look, as if awaiting an enemy. Behind are eight other staves--erect, in orderly disposition, like a palisade.
