<HTML>Century VI, Quatrain XCVII
"The sky will burn at forty-five
degress. Fire approaches the
great New City. Immediately a
huge scattered flame leaps up
when they want to have proof of
the Normans."
Translation by Erika Cheetham (The Final Prophecies of Nostradamus),
with the accompanying commentary:
"New York City lies between 40 and 45 degrees parallel in the USA. It is
often referred to by Nostradamus as the Cite neufue, which was its
contemporary name during Nostradamus' lifetime. It appears that the
attack on the city if a widespread, inftant grand flamme efparfe
fautera. It is certainly a futuristic quatrain. Where and how France is
involved is unclear - by 1992 it will stand after all for the European
Community - but it is also involved in similar quatrains. (See X.XLIX,
I.XLI and IX.XLII.)"
This is a little different to the fake postings of Nsotradmus' sayings which have been doing the rounds on the Net.
What are these additional quatrains though?
Century X, Quatrain XLIX:
"The garden of the World near
the New City, in the road of the
hollow mountains. It will be
seized and plunged in the tank,
forced to drink water poisoned
with sulphur."
Century I, Quatrain XLI:
"The besieged city is assaulted by
night, few escape; a battle not
far from the sea. A prostitute
faints with joy at the return of
her son, poison in the fold of the
hidden letters."
[Variously interpretated as being of WW2 or the French Revolution]
Century IX, Quatrain XLII:
"From Barcelona, from Genoa
and Venice, from Sicily a pestilence
allied with Monaco. They
will take aim against the babarian
fleet. The barbarian driven
back as far as Tnuis."
[Cheetham: "This prediction was well fulfilled in 1571 at the Battle of
Lepanto when the allied fleets of the Papacy, Venice and Spain crushed
the Turks at Lepanto. By 1573, Don John of Austria, the leader of the
expedition, had gone on to recapture Tunis. Much ofthe Turkish fleet was
comprised of ships from their ally the Algerian Barbary pirates. A
successful quatrain."]</HTML>
