Centuries.6 Quatrain.72
Original Verse in English and French (Benoit Ed.)
Original Verse in English and French (Benoit Ed.)
Through feigned fury of divine emotion
The wife of the great one will be violated
The judges wishing to condemn such a doctrine,
She is sacrificed a victim to the ignorant people.
Par fureur faincte d'e$motion diuineSome verses contain very obvious clues as to their subject matter but four short poetic lines always holds too little for clarity. Given this dilemma there is only one possibility and that is that there is a code for linking that verse to others and finding key words that reveal details left out of the text.
Sera la femme du grand fort violee
Juges voulans damner telle doctrine
Victime au peuple ignorant imolee
The text of this verse mentions divine emotion and this clearly marks it as commentary by Nostradamus on his method of achieving the right dream like state and then being able to recollect it once awake and set it down. My claim is that emotions are an essential part of memory recall when the subject matter has temporarily been forgotten and divine emotions imply this is his contact with the agent that provided his foresight into significant mutations of future times. In this verse it talks of a wife being violated while the first mentions feigned fury so it is no surprise to find anagrams for frantic (r fainct) and rapine (ine Par) in the first line. But the second line holds a greater affirmation of Nostradamus' intent since it holds clear anagrams 'for violet' (for - t viole) and 'flame release' (lee Sera - la fem).
Now the violet flame was a term suited to Nostradamus' time and it held special meaning to alchemists. It is related to self-transformation with the flame being the essence of a unique spiritual light. Mystics of all ages have glimpsed a "spiritual spectrum" behind the physical spectrum with the violet flame being associated with the qualities of mercy, forgiveness, freedom and transmutation.
Yet the tone of the text seems more vengeful than enlightened to our modern sense and it it is apparent that this disturbs Nostradamus. His verse is a condemnation of those who proclaim that enlightment underpins their cruel actions against those outside their realm of righteousness. His need when triggering the visions of this verse was then designed to build affinity with the mutations of future times and by the focus on the condemnation of a rape victim he draws forth a much more dire dream.
The modern story hidden in the anagram reflects the tone of the text since it concerns legal constraints on sexuality and racism introduced in the guise of God's word. The anagrams that form the backbone to this tale include:
interfaced, confederatism, rummaged, unfairer, sodomite, demotions, injector, injure, recondite, emotions, unfair, vogues, antinegro, ovules, germination, motions, remands, frantic, eloping, regional, Girona, modest, mentorial, Eloim, motile, descent, motion, decent, frond, enticed, Eloise, damns, vice, most, argued, violet, flame, release, a flare.
