CENTURIA VIII · QUATRAIN LXXV
The Roman in the Pavilion
Le pere & fils seront meurdris ensemble,
Le prefecteur dedans son pavilion,
La mere u00e0 Tours du filz ventre aura enflu00e9,
Criche verdure de failles papillon.
The father and son shall be murdered together,
the prefect within his pavilion,
the mother at Tours shall have her belly swollen by the son,
a wooden cradle, green leaves, and a butterfly of foil.
THE MASTER SAYS…
This quatrain is quite confusing, and we are trying to translate it. In fact, Nostradamus put down his pen. Now he is sitting at the table, holding his head in his hands, and trying to give us an oral translation. This is one of the easiest methods for me. It is so incomprehensible, so complex. Well, the chest seems to contain reliable information. The pregnant mother seems to be pregnant with information as well. The murder of father and son at the same time seems to be a concealment of some information, a kind of veiling. I get very vague images. Father and son seem to represent information from two eras. I see Nostradamus working intently, so I will be quiet. (Pause) It is confusing. I see a man in Roman style, similar to Mark Antony from “Antony and Cleopatra,” in a pavilion. When you say “chest with small pieces of paper,” I see hidden information. It seems something distant. It seems very Roman. I do not see a pregnant woman. I just see this man sitting in an open pavilion with columns. He is wearing a white mantle and a laurel wreath on his head. He possesses great power. It is connected with the inadmissibility of Christian information, with the inadmissibility of some messages. They hid some information. This is a Roman who suppresses and kills people. When I look in the mirror, I just see this man sitting there. I see the columns; I see the leaves on his head. And I see him incredibly powerful, but without a smile. He does not want important information concerning knowledge capable of changing people’s attitudes to leak out. Is this knowledge relevant to our time as well? This is a very interesting question, because this man was focused on his time. He was concerned only with the security of his crown and whether he would remain king. However, judging by your wording of the question, yes, the information is preserved in our time as well. After all, in fact, not all of it was classified. Part of this information is incredibly important and significant for us right now. Then you think that it was suppressed in Roman times as well? There were attempts. Much, it must be said. The murder of father and son at the same time may even — although the time frames are different — relate to the burning of the libraries in Alexandria. It seems there was a great loss of ancient information. I do not know exactly when the Library of Alexandria was burned. However, the information about the father was more ancient than the information about the son. But both represent ancient information and both were kept in this library. And the mother also symbolizes information because she is pregnant. Yes. However, I do not see a physical woman with a child. I see only the man sitting there. I feel only the suppression of information. Oh! Now I understand. There were attempts to suppress this information, and a large part of ancient knowledge was destroyed. More modern information nevertheless appeared, and obviously we have it today. Those who possessed knowledge of these new beliefs were pregnant with information. The symbolism of the impending birth, of the pregnant woman, is that the information will come out. Then the chest with greenery and small pieces of paper also relates to this information? I think it is one of the real, literal ways in which they tried to preserve some of the information. It was also placed in jugs and buried, carved on stones. There were various attempts to preserve this information for all future generations. I would say that if we actually included this information in our knowledge, it would probably be the most important information we could receive. And it was hidden and hushed up since Roman times. An attempt at suppression. Partly it was so. My God! I think it is the Library of Alexandria. I think they seized the information but did not destroy it, and this is really exciting, because I thought everything in Alexandria burned. But it seems that as a result of a terrible event they obtained some ancient information, but did not destroy it. Nostradamus says that this information still exists. He says that if it has not been discovered in the last few years, it will happen soon. This is obvious. You must know that it existed; it continued to exist as a living source of knowledge. It did not disappear. People did not break into it and burn the scrolls for heating or cooking. It was actually in a high enough place that it was not destroyed by any natural phenomena, floods or anything else. You mean, where is it now? I believe that the Library of Alexandria I am talking about does not currently exist on Earth. It is quite possible that the Library of Alexandria I am talking about consisted of several parts. Perhaps it did not necessarily have to be in one building. I think over time, and of course due to the destructive impact of man, it was dismantled and destroyed. Do you think it was moved somewhere else? It is somewhere nearby. I mean, right over there. I see this hill. My initial assumption about the Library of Alexandria was this: there was only one library, and it was destroyed. I think some ruins still remain, and they can be visited right now if we go there. And when you asked me whether it survived, I did not see any ruins. So I asked: “Where is it?” And then I saw it on a hill. This made me realize that either there were several libraries, or the library consisted of several parts. And what I am talking about — there are no visible remains, no ruins either. Thus, no one will know where it is unless they discover it later. Well, they are not very interested in looking for a place where there is nothing. This quatrain says that in those times the library survived several strong natural disasters and remained intact. Then people came who took information from there that is considered bad, especially considering that they could kill people to get it. But since I asked: “What does this have to do with today?” Nostradamus says that this information is about to come out. So the advantage is that we will now hear information that is several thousand years old. We would not have known about it if they had not stolen it, moved it somewhere else and hidden it. But will it be found, or will it come to light? Yes. And very soon, it seems to me. Right at any minute. This interpretation was so complex because words are deception. The quatrains make me think literally. It was pleasant to look into the mirror, where I saw this man.
