Nostradamus C5 Q71: The Prophets interest in the end of commercial whaling.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

The text of this verse should be read as an incident at sea involving a whale hunt and this unlikely story-line is also found within the anagrams but in a commercial setting rather than a military one.

The anagrams that lead to this inclusion include epaulard ( dra l'eau P) meaning a student of whales, blades ( bles a d), bones ( es nob) and spume ( ſmeu) all of which fit to this creature.

To Nostradamus this tale holds a personal interest, as shown by the fact he includes the name Nostredame ( Rosne tard me) in the anagrams.

It is also apparent that he pursues this topic through his dreams  and at times his feeling alternated ( attendra l'e) and he would grieve anew ( gier ve - enuAu)  as those he saw driven by greed ( rge de) were arraigned( grand raige), charged ( Charge d) and brought before the law (lAuu).
