CENTURIA X · QUATRAIN LIV
The Concubine’s Daughter
Nee en ce monde par concubine fertive,
A deux hault mise par les tristes nouvelles,
Entre ennemis sera prinse captive,
Et amene a Malings & Bruxelles.
Born into this world of a furtive concubine,
at two raised high by the sad tidings,
taken captive among enemies,
and carried to Malings and Brussels.
THE MASTER SAYS…
He says that it is possible. He says that he has never felt anything like it. It is like walking in syrup, honey or molasses. He says that the symbols, taken line by line, make sense, but when they are put together, they contradict each other. He is not sure, but perhaps the manuscript was mixed up. He suspects that the first two lines are taken from one quatrain, and the second two from another. He says that the first two lines relate to the Antichrist. Yes, and “at two o’clock high.” But he says that the other two lines are not connected. He thinks so, but as far as he can judge, the information they could convey has already been set out in another quatrain.
