Brief comments june 2022

28 june 2022:

The rakeboard was half off my house in Szolnok when I bought it and it later fell down. I have not repaired it yet because it is not so important. There are only wooden lists on the roof holding the tiles and the rakeboard is nailed right onto the end of these. The rakeboard can be called 'Møneskien' in norwegian. (I saw this connection after having read an article in Pravda).

There exists an old traditional norwegian dish called 'rak-ørret' (some people seem to think it is stored among the traditional 'fertilizers' before it is prepared - it is a little 'smelly') which in swedish is called 'surströmning' ('sour-streaming'). 'Ørret' = 'trout'. (I think it was Per Magnus Halvorsen who mentioned this swedish term in the 1970's, if it were not the Krøtøes, whom I think served this dish once).

It was in 2019 that I published on this homepage this translation of mine of a poem by Tu Fu: It seems to tell that if you send a poem to copyright registration, some time later you get a 'sour streaming' in return and that is what is left of the once sweet melody. In 2020 there was the giant explosion in the Sursock area of Beirut. It was said to have been 'fertilizers' that had exploded.

On background of the comments in this file on Hans-Henrik Holm's unpublished manuscript "Attljód frå gamaltidi", one could fancy that this Beirut explosion could have been about an "Attljód frå gamaltidi" in the sense of 'behind-sound from old 'tidi'', in my case as an echo from a head opening in 1957.

Hence the Beirut explosion could have been a comment on the theory that somebody with a role in 1957 could have been thinking about plans of attempted annexation of my copyright or authorship. I have elsewhere speculated that 'JFK' could have been present. But havent I since long published the books in home-made editions, in some number of copies? I have.

In Odda in probably 1960 (if not 1961) the family went to a farmer to pick broccoli, a new vegetable in the country. Nelly Sachs died in Stockholm 1970 from 'Ca.coli', as it was written by Dr. Pär Lindell (cp. the 'perlende Licht'?) on the death declaration, as far as I remember. 'Ca.coli' = 'colon cancer'. 'Blomkål' is norw. for 'cauliflower' - 'flower-cauli', 'blom-coli'. A 'joke on Holm's "Attljod i gamaltidi"?

On 17 may 1983 (national day in Norway) somebody had sprayed graffiti on the asphalt outside my home. There was the word SVIN right outside the entrance gate and two phalluses in a nearby road intersection. Some may have associated this with a response from the octogon on the last 'story' there. However, as it later became known that the investigations in the alleged spy case against Arne Treholt had started on that same day 17 may 1983, and the previous spy case of considerable public attention had been Gunvor Galtung Haavik, the recognition of the two phalluses as 'gunvor' and the 'SVIN' as 'galtung' ('galte' is a male pig) was natural. 'Haavik' could then in principle have applied to 'H-H H' = 'Hans-Henrik Holm' ('hans ende er i kolon' = 'his end is in colon' = 'ca.coli'? 'ans ende er i kolon' = 'somebody else's end is in colon'). It was, as far as I remember, said about Haavik, an old woman who had worked a lifetime in the foreign ministry, that she at first refused to confess but then she told the whole story before she died in the cell. When in Venice in 2009 two neighbours died around the same time, one called ZUIN and the other Mario Zorzetto, it clearly invoked associations to this story of the graffitis from 1983. In the short street where I lived there was the word TESA written on a sign in a corner. A couple of years ago I was into Cassa di Risparmio di Venezia which I used in 2009 - but it turned out that this bank had been consumed into the giant 'Intesa San Paulo' which, as they told me, had grown to be Europe's biggest bank. (On another overview on the internet of 2022 it is ranked #6 in Europe, but there may perhaps be different ways to count). I think I remember that I read that the bank in 2009 had been reasonably middlesized - but the same overview now tells that it arose from a merger in 2007 of what then were two of Italy's three biggest banks, but maybe there are different ways to count even there. It was after the death of Corazon Acquino that I moved up to Vienna. From the article Holm and the death of Lenin it appears that the whole story since the death of Lenin in january 1924 could have been rooted in 'The book of Daniel' in the bible. It is easy to see a connection from 'Intesa San Paulo' to the name of Danielsen in the Octogon - could be also on background of the Haavik-Treholt story from 1983 reinvoked by the names of the neighbours in 2009. Italy's economy was among Europe's strongest in 2009, but that is normally not said about it these days.

The story tells that I could need some help to find a permanent housing solution in another country such as Italy.
