Nostradamus C1 Q21: The astral ciphers that arise from rhetoric labels
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015. Feb 2023
The text of Centuries 1 Quatrain 21 is extremely enigmatic even for
Nostradamus. This property underpins the pairing of this
verse with C9 Q32.
Compare the first line of the current verse which says The rock holds in its depths white clay
with the first line in its paired verse A deep column of fine porphyry is found. It
is evident that both relate to the properties of valuable minerals or
cornerstone ideas that are extremely well hidden. And each verse's
anagrams binds that hidden resource to Nostradamus' codes.
This
verse has anagrams forcipher, proof
and reading_label
in its first line while the first line of C9 Q32 has anagrams for codon
and proof.
Also important is that other anagrams in the first lines of these
paired verses offer detail about the nature of Nostradamus' media for
code. In this verse there is
define_prop and uurote_on_ll while in C9 Q232
there is rhetoric and our_channel.
However they differ in that one pays attention to mechanisms used in N's
poetry linking his lettering to astronomic objects while the other
relates to genetic code mechanisms.
Yet
this current verse and its paired verse hint at their own resolution through the use of wording in their last
two lines. In this verse we have Needlessly troubled people daren't touch it, unaware the
earth's foundation is of clay.
The contents of the anagrams clarify
the metaphor since they offer an explanation along the lines that the
rock (his prophecies) contain much clearer material (white clay) which
comes out even whiter via a cleft (anagrams). It then implies his work
is written this way to protect readers who would be damaged by their own
inability to cope with or understand the real message in his prophecies.
There are other anagrams such as nitrogenases (e
Ignorans eſ) and
organ features (gnorae /
estre auf ) that tie this verse to the modern
language and specialisations of codon science and the nucleotides that
are a foundation for nitrogen based enzymes. Nitrogenase is a complex,
bacterial enzyme.
The
anagrams also bring a more physical meaning to the wording in the text
since ‘actinic materials' queues
(acticin / a me iſtra l / euſe Qu )’
refer to radioactive minerals while other anagrams such as ‘igneous
(uſe Igno)’ relate to rocks in which such minerals are
often found. The verse becomes a duad in its meaning with one aimed at
explaining the mechanisms by which his work can be interpreted and the
other telling of the response of people in our century to nuclear
threats.
