Sure, but I could be terribly biased and wrong. And needless to say, so it is vital to have input/illumination from other people to enable me to see the other side of the coin or a bigger picture, so to speak. I am glad I asked for opinions as right now, I have received additional links to sources of information relating to what I am interested in. I am a scientist, not a mystic. However, from time to time, I like to quote mystical/controversial stuff in order to gauge others' opinions or their reaction to it.

Interesting Nosty Site Hi hunchback, The following link has the quatrains in the original French as well as modern French and modern English translations. esoterism.com For Example Century 1 Quatrain 69 Original French La grand montagne ronde de sept stades, Apres paix, guerre, faim, inodation, Roulera loin abismant grands contrades, Mesmes antiques, & grands fondation. Modern French La grand montagne ronde de sept stades, Après paix, guerre, faim, innondation, Roulera loin abîmant grands contrades, Mesmes antiques, et grand fondation. Modern English The great mountain seven stadia round, After peace, war, famine, flooding, It will spread far, drowning great [countries], Even antiquities, and their great foundations. What is interesting, is that this quatraine may refer to the size of the comet and confirm a hit on water. Stadia is an ancient Greek measure of distance, based on the length of a course and equal to about 185 meters (607 feet). - The comet's diameter would be 1353 feet ~ 1/4 mile. Having the original french as well as the modern french often makes it possible to get automatic translations that make sense. Otherwise, you just wind up with a bunch of rejected words. John
