Can someone more well-versed than I tell me what this means? I didn't get it when I watched the episode.

I believe this one is "All men must serve"

11 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 0

something along the lines of "all men must serve". it's the usual response to "valar morghulis" which means "all men must die"

It's not a name. It means "All men must die."

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's not a name. The Phrase is a Braavosi greeting (All men must die) and is usually answered with "Valar dohaeris" (all men must serve)

Isn't is strange how the most talented, naturally artistic, gifted people are also often the most tormented by themselves?

11 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

It's the fake believe that being proud on oneself was a bad thing that kills the good artists.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I think it's more likely that the tormented etc stand out because we crave drama. Pablo Picasso, Joan MirĂ³, Matisse etc were pretty mellow.

TL;DR??? That was a pretty short poem. If you don't like poetry, that's okay, but it doesn't make the poem long.
