The poet William Butler Yeats wrote the following poem 'The indian upon God' in 1866 for his book "Crossways" (1889). I read his poem yesterday after having read my own poem TEQ #446 the day before - here are both of them:

My poem is the first in book 8 ('Diplomadary and descendature') of the 16-volume 'The Endmorgan Quartet' - it was written on 8 march 1999. The parallel text is Exodus 16:1 which likewise exhibits interesting parallels.
Added on 19 october 2024:
'Squarepeopling apples' - traces of the four examples of Yeats can be spotted even in some x- and y-axes of my "Stillhetens åndedrag'. There are also some traces of it in the counterpoints of 'Rosens triangel'. English translation for all poems is on the following page:
This white metre phenomenon could measure out the poetic coordinate system behind TEQ #446.
The coordinate system around its 'origo' could of course be the 'contents' of the earthquake of 18 october 2024 shown on this screenshot from this Google internet map. It is just off Oregon - cp. 'Origo'n'.
Are there even traces of four global quadrants in the earthquakes of that day? This quake is at latitude -125. Another 90 degrees takes it to -125-90 = -215 which is 35 beyond the 180. In fact the quake immediately following this 00:58:30.2 UTC Oregon quake was at 01:00:22.1 UTC, which was 111 seconds later, a magnitude 2.3 in Turkey - at +37.159 - which is at Doğanlıkarahasan which is some kilometres off Kahramanmaraş. That is not the same as 35 degrees beyond 180 (which means at 145) - but maybe interesting nevertheless. 145-35 = appr. 111 seconds? I notice these interesting earthquakes of Turkey - which seem to interpret my SNEEFT COEIL poem in their placenames.
111 (seconds etc) is also the first petrification point.
But why should +35 off Greenwich and -35 off 180 degrees be any interesting? TEQ #590 seems to hint at something. See also this example.
The earth's geological logic has of course been shaped through millions of years while the tectonic plates were drifting around, and when mankind came into shape at the end of these millions of years, it is natural that their collective and poetic logic would have come to be harmony with these geological phenomena. That could be also a part of the mystery logic in placenames - and hence the correlations of poetry with earthquakes on placenames.
