Brief comments 9 may 2023

8 may 2023:

My 'SNEEFT COEIL' is, I think, a good book. It is about the synchronic aspects of language - not the diachronicity of language in time (as is the theme of 'Der Dornenstrauch') - but more like Tiepolo's virgin learning to read (source) - never in time has she seen this word before - the black on the white surface. The first chapter is called 'Die Wahrnehmungen' (pages 478-487) - ten poems ending in this poem (on page 487). The poems in this chapter do not mean 'the warne-mungen'. Nor has the 7th poem anything to do with the name of 'Zelensky'.

9 may 2023:

Continuing from yesterday's comment with the observation of a possible indexation of the 7th poem in 'Die Wahrnehmungen' in my 'SNEEFT COEIL' in some news and events, since 'renne' is norwegian for a track, canal/channel for water, gutter, a slit, I speculated if it could be so bad that - in case earthquakes could be manmade - even the tragic earthquakes in Turkey-Syria of 6 february 2023 (illustration from this source) could have been about this 'renne' for the 'Rennfahrer' in the third line of the 7th poem in 'Die Wahrnehmungen'.

So I looked up the earthquakes of magnitude 5 or more for 6 february 2023 and started to compare the placenames closest to the epicentres. I forgot at the outset that the list of quakes which came up by my search came out backwards, with latest of 6 february listed first - but anyhow it seemed that the one I tried matched the lines of my poem surprisingly well. Extending the list to the beginning of the quakes could therefore possibly take it to the end of 'Die Wahrnehmungen' - or maybe to that point at the line 'in offene See stechen' almost at the end of the chapter. But I dont know if such quakes can be made by some technology, so I dont know what this could be.

Here is the list of the names nearest to the epicentres of the quakes aligned with the 7 stanzas of the 7th poem - the source for the earthquakes is this page (where you can define your criteria and look up e.g. those quakes of minimum magnitude 5 on 6 february 2023), and the source for the translations of the placenames is Google's translator. For checking the placenames click the link for the quake, then on 'maps' and then on 'Interactive Maps View' where you can zoom in onto the blinking epicentre.

(Added on 25 july 2023: It seems that the web design of this earthquake news service has been altered since I published this and it may be that the relevant placenames do not come so easily up as before. But of course one can use another map to look up the data - such as e.g. Google satellite map where one can copy in the coordinates in the top left search field from the following list - then e.g. the first quake by coordinates 38.21 N 38.28 E copied into the search field takes it to this map where you find the placenames by zooming out. More precise coordinates can of course be used).

1st quake = 20:53:24.3     38.21   N     38.28   E     5.0     EASTERN TURKEY
2st quake = 20:37:53.0     37.25   N     37.05   E     5.3     CENTRAL TURKEY
3st quake = 16:43:29.3     38.01   N     36.47   E     5.0     CENTRAL TURKEY
4st quake = 15:33:34.0     38.27   N     38.15   E     5.2     EASTERN TURKEY
5st quake = 15:14:36.9     38.06   N     37.71   E     5.1     CENTRAL TURKEY
6st quake = 13:44:52.1     37.95   N     37.50   E     5.0     CENTRAL TURKEY
7st quake = 13:39:25.6     37.60   N     36.96   E     5.1     CENTRAL TURKEY
