Nostradamus C.9 Q.21: The virtuous view of the tragedies of war.


Nostradamus C.9 Q.21: The virtuous view of the tragedies of war.

The names in the text of this verse take on meaning when ascribed to places along the Loire and just south of Blois. In the very heart of the Loire Valley and at the gateway to Sologne is the royal town of Blois. Throughout history many significant people and events have been centred on Blois. Joan of Arc, Henry IV, Marie d'Medici are a few that are part of the many   that would have been of concern to French people in Nostradamus time. There is a bridge at Blois but it dates from the nineteenth century so if this is the setting it is part of Nostradamus' dream of times beyond sixteenth century France.  The word Solonne used by Nostradamus in the first line has no unambiguous sense but the Loire and Blois are gateways to the Sologne and the following description of the Solonge from modern tourism literature shows relevance to this verse and justifies seeing Solonne as Sologne.
Stretching southeast of Blois, the Sologne is one of those traditionally rural regions of France that help keep alive the national self-image. Depending on the weather and the season, it can be one of the most dismal areas in central France: damp, flat, featureless and foggy. But at other times its forests, lakes, ponds and marshes have a quiet magic.
The text carries the bitter-sweet tunes of a particular battle and this articulation of the peculiar glories of war-based savagery is mirrored in the anagrams.
 At the high temple of Blois holy Sologne
Night, the Loire bridge, Prelate, King killing outright
Crushing victory in the marshes of the pond,
Whence prelacy of whites miscarrying.
Au temple hault de Bloys $acre Solonne
Nuict pont de Loyre prelat roy pernicant
Cur$eur victoire aux mare$tz de la lone
Dou prelature de blancs a bormeant.
