Nostradamus C8 Q19: A gaseous debacle impacting on Fort Marseille.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

This is a peculiar verse that has an internal message with some consistency but the manner in which this ties to the text and the themes of the other prophecies remains obscure.

 It is probable, from its use of anagrammatic terms such as Marseille fort (ort f - amille ſer) and blue sea (uble - e Aſ), that it refers to events surrounding the building of the fort on the Isle of If. 

This small place  was very prominent in Nostradamus' youth because of the rhinocerus that was temporarily housed on the island.

 It was this beast that lured Francis I to journey here, at which time he envisaged it as a potential fort.

The island is the smallest of three that form a triangle a few kilometres west of Marseille.
