Summary

This quote suggests that there comes a point when there have been too many heroes and their sacrifices become wasted. It implies that heroes have become commonplace, perhaps even taken for granted, and their deaths no longer have the same impact or significance. The phrase "we have supped full" implies that society has had its fill of heroes and is no longer hungry for their heroic acts or willing to fully appreciate them. It presents a somewhat cynic view of how heroes and their sacrifices may be diminished or undervalued over time.
