Yeah, hell, I get that. I got what he was trying to say, but I'm with you there on the failure of the symbolism, really. "Frail dignity" and "darkening bruise" got me in that "that is not bloody right" way--nothing dignified about that death, and the bruises I gather would've looked more like being hit with a baseball bat rather than some faint delicate shadow.
