"...And men cried out to the Creator, saying, O Light of the Heavens, Light of the World, let the Promised One be born of the mountain, according to the prophecies, as he was in ages past and will be in ages to come. Let the Prince of the Morning sing to the land that green things will grow and the valleys give forth lambs. let the arm of the Lord of the Dawn shelter us from the Dark, and the great sword of justice defend us. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time."
Lots of people have been making a lot of fuss over this verse. I think you can't pick and choose what you take literally and what you take as metaphor. The phrase "sword of justice" is not a new phrase to WOT. I think to take that it is Hawkwings sword from that would mean you would have to also find a way he will time travel "ride the again on the winds of time" and enter into some serious genetic engineering making the "valleys give forth lambs" I studied Biochem and Genetics and I can tell you that to make rock and dirt produce a sheep would be quite impressive.

You're saying everything must be either literal or metaphoric?

Maybe I'm stupid, but why would Hawkwing have been using Lews Therin's sword?

Wouldn't Lews Therin's sword be buried under Dragonmount? And didn't Rand say it was his own memory?
