Also, there seems to be the recurring theme of: "Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, when all the while a great wind carries me across the sky."

This has been applied to many characters, but the most applicable is Tony. Which is why, I think, this will be the most prevalent theme of this season. Maybe Tony looks back after he hits the gutter and thinks, "Hey I really didnt have it that bad and I took it for granted."
