lay the laurel wreath
800351Jan 30 2008 — edited Jan 30 2008Yes, it may seem to be a Java unrelated question but not for my current project.
In the King Crimson's song Epitaph lyrics we read:
When every man is torn apart with nightmares and with dreams, no one will lay the laurel wreath as silence drowns the screams.
I'd like to know the common connotation(s) or implication(s) for the phrase lay the laurel wreath in English, if there is/are. Or I'd like to be given pointers for fora for intricacy of the English language.
TIA
