Nay, it was just that I

Adding something strange on 20-21 nov: The photos were taken in Venice in the order of their appearance in the course of an hour or two. The second of them can be called a 'strange' phenomenon since I could not determine it with certainty. The red leaf came blowing with the wind and stopped in front of me sitting on a bench. Thereafter came the gull for explaining this. The explanation could be in the poem TEQ #1477 to the photos which I published the day before - it tells of what 'water' is: It means that the strange leans after. The two slanting strokes in the second photo are emphasized also by the symbolism 1-9-4-3 in the photos. It is likely that the four photos could contribute to an understanding of what ancient elemental theory on 'water' is. The four photos also tell of the four major graphemes of cuneiform: Vertical, slanting, horizontal and big wedge. There is a certain recursion in the series - the fourth photo feeds back on the first - and sumerian 'ku' could perhaps mean the first photo in this sense of it (to base/ground, night, black, entrance, breach, fish, sweet, honey, money, cleanse, white, pure, eat, nurse). The mystic 'guitar' can be found in the hieroglyphic 'placenta'. 'Gazelle' seems to be sumerian 'mashda' (search 'gazelle') from 'mash' (search 'interest') + 'da' (search 'arm'). Old sumerian script sign see 'mashda [gazelle]'. It is a peculiar phenomenon that poem #17 in my 'Stillhetens åndedrag' (starting the second quarter of the book, where the alignment with Nono's quartet starts) is a poem which contains apparently nearly all and only the sumerian meanings of 'MASh'. See also the zifferblatt for this form 'MASh'. For those interested in philosophy, see also my article on Wittgenstein's 'Tractatus': "More generally, the successive (or maybe the modern term is 'recursive' - see TLP 5.251) application of the negation of the truth values will output a script ('Zeichen') or language embodied in some format". Hence the four photos also for the symbols 1-9-4-3.
