The Play is the thing

(Hamlet, Act II, Sc. ii. First Folio)

Oh Vengeance!

[…]

About, my Braine.

I haue heard, that guilty Creatures sitting at a Play

Haue by the very cunning of the Scoene,

Bene strooke so to the soule, that presently

They haue proclaim´d their Malefactions.

For Murther, though it haue no tongue, will speake

With most myraculous Organ. Ile haue these Players,

Play something like the murder of my Father,

Before mine Vnkle.  Ile obserue his lookes,

Ile rent him to the quicke: If he but blench

I know my course.  The Spirit that I haue seene

May be the Diuell, and the Diuel hath power

T’assume a pleasing shape, yea and perhaps

Out of my Weaknesse, and my Melancholly,

As he is very potent with such Spirits,

Abuses me to damne me.  Ile haue grounds

More Relatiue then this:  The Play’s the thing,

Wherein Ile catch the Conscience of the King.    Exit.

¹The Abomination of Desolation

Message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

² Ben Jonson‘s First Folio Ode

(Omega lines)

Shine forth, thou Starre of Poets, and with rage

Or influence, chide or cheere the drooping Stage;

Which, since thy flight frō hence, hath mourn’d like night,

And despaires day, but for thy Volumes light.
