Crows are the great birds of esthetic logic. Under this this page is found my poem 'Kråke' - one-by-one word translation in 'Crow'. In Nono's music you can hear the scissoring edge at the line "The most beautiful women the world has seen" - like seeing a part of the underskirt hanging down under the skirt. Humans have four bones under the knees. How would they look from inside - seen from the marrow out?

On the tomb wall of Tutankhamun (source in this article - here in better resolution) there is this image with a small detail in the lower left:

Turning this detail 90 degrees (as in the matrix of phonetic and logical form) gives the shape which resembles the Catalan constant integral - and the shape of Egypt on the map (source Microsoft Encarta World Atlas 99):

But, as is seen, there is an underskirt there (like that unturned superimposed on it?) called the Sinai Peninsula - not the Kinai, though. Could be this Crow has understood something about jewish exodus and christian crucifixion. One notices the precision in Nono's music. The underskirt on this map would be the essential contents of what human semantics is by my fundamental theorem of logic.

The Kinai 'peninsula' would rather be that irrational behaviour of the infinitesimals of integral computation which Cauchy maybe did not want to come to daylight in the heydays of his career. China is not that 'infinitesimal', though. Could be that fact was the reason for the rise of marxism and communism.

My TEQ #382 - a poem of some relevance. It seems to suggest that this is not about crows but on the contrary about doves - Colombis? 'Due' - with one-by-one word translation in 'Dove'. Ah, but that is poem #14 in my book - the exact mirror image to the Crow in #19 - it is precisely as far from the end of Nono part 2 as Crow is from the beginning of part 1. The doves are perhaps more delicate and careful in their expressions than the crows are - but maybe also less exact? The book crosses from Dove to Crow and passes the cleft from part 2 to part 1 on its way.
