Varanaxa

Varanaxa was a fictional character invented by the poet Blind Gallan. Varanaxa was called a mocked hero and supposed to be a snipe of Gallan towards his fawners. According to Prazek Goul, Gallan was vilified for the epic farce, but did not care.Fall of Light, Chapter 24, UK HB p.748

==About Varanaxa==
The following information about Varanaxa was given by Dathenar:
So heartbroken this poet he spent four years and a hundred bottles of ink defending his suicide, only to break his neck upon a bar of soap— Such an ironic death should have made him famous but his body of work put paid to that. His talent was all accidental. And yet, not. He was suicidal. Four years the span of his career, as he unleashed all that was within him, broken of heart, blind to the insipid self and all its false confessions – broken of heart, said I? Empty of heart, too obsessed with the trappings of rejection to focus upon the object itself. She said no and before her breath left the word he was off, epic visions filling his head, the ordeal stretched out like a welcoming lover. Hark well the willing martyr and make jaded your eye upon his thrashing agony – this is a game played out to its gory end, with an audience evermost in mind. Varanaxa was painted and a bronze was made of him.Fall of Light, Chapter 24, UK HB p.747/748
===Attributed to Varanaxa===
Forsaken this love, my tongue doth probe, to touch – but touch! – the excretion of the snail’s slime, and now all atingle at exquisite poison, my heart dances like a rat on a griddle, but still she stands with but a faint smile ’pon her sweet lips, tending the fire and tending, tending, and tending the fire!
Too dark this dawn! Too bright this sunset! Too gloomy this day, too starlit this wretched night!
