The arbitrary
This continues from this file and this discussion of possible 'non-euclidean entropies', so to speak.
To be a little impressive, I can report on a case from 'The Endmorgan Quartet' = TEQ poem 1313 (in book 14) "The arbitrary" the mid stanza #3 out of 5:
He talkened him at Rome:
"I, that is, we, must spin
between chat and windows
and Mr.Employment, too".
"I, that is, we" is discussed in the article on the chinese sign WO which is found as photo 2 from this study. It suggests that CHAT and WINDOW should be in its surroundings. WINDOW in chinese is CHUANG = 窗 which can be recognized in photo 1 from the same study:

Photo 1 annotated with chinese sign 窗 |
Is there a CHAT in photo 3? There is for example the 'liáo tiān' = 聊天 which means 'to chat' or 'to gossip' which can be recognized in photo 3 in the same style, and in the upside-down version of photo 3 one could spot the outlines of the sign xián tán = 闲谈 = to chat. Here the two versions annotated with suggestive lines:
Photo 3 |
Photo 3 annotated with chinese sign 聊天 |
Photo 3 upside down |
Photo 3 upside down annotated with chinese sign 闲谈 |
Clearly it could have been better but the match is not bad.
Now TEQ #582 goes as follows:
TEQ #582
Matthew 2:13
εγερθεις παραλαβε το παιδιον και την μητερα αυτου, και φευγε εις αιγυπτον
After having been produced by only one: Chuang
happiness flight
Wympongie
This CHUANG is the WINDOW of photo 2. There is a CHAT or rather CHUT-shill in #583 - and in #581 there seems to be the BEER with VIRGIN in the form of the BEAR.
Photo 4 has a structure which can be recognized in chinese for EMPLOY-ment = basically yòng = 用 or maybe even better gù yōng = 雇佣.

This fills into TEQ book 14 poem 1313 "The arbitrary" the mid stanza 3 quoted above. Then what is it that "he talkened him at Rome"?
See the poem immediately preceding this TEQ 1313 - it is TEQ 1312 = "The store is out". My poetic-philosophical intuition tells that this poem tells of the symmetric-structural principles of revelation in the form of an explanatory value in seeing the revelation of Knock in Ireland as referred to in the last line while the explanatory background of this revelation then will be seen in the first line = "Largo Argentina": It would mean that it is the dug-out mid of this Largo store of marbellous stone in Rome which re-appears in the apparently white marble-like forms in Knock in 1879. That is the meaning of "He talkened him at Rome" - and it was seen in Knock.
I often went past Largo Argentina in 1981.
Theory: It is because these two lines of TEQ #1312 are the peripherals that they are the central lines in the next poem TEQ #1313 - could be in this chapter called 'Egy Desso Pu'.
The impressive part of this story is that this stanza of poem "The arbitrary" was written on 22 april 2003 while the photos from the 'arbitrary' grove on the Danube Island were taken on 16 june 2012, that is 3343 days later. That is just what the 'arbitrarity' is: A mystic guiding (sometimes recognized as aristotelian 'entelechies', if I have got tradition of concepts right) of nature's coincidences by a larger metaphysical logic.
It is seen that there are some similarities between photo 2 and the revelation of Knock: The evangelist with a lighthouse 'book' to the left on photo 2, the Lamb on the altar of Knock seen on the photo 2 as the Lamb with snout in Berlin and knock-kneed (?) patellas in Rome, the pram-pushing Madonna (resembling Chirac, is it?) and the cancan dancing Josef - if it is not the transform of the dentist Josef, with his client the Frau Boldog madonna and the (invisible?) evangelist with the 'foot-printed' scripture 'd' plus exclamation mark '!'. The latter interpretation would be only the righthand half of the image - and this transform from the full image to only the half of it with reverse order of the constituents could be the 'spin'.
(There is some discussion of some probably political things in this file).
