So my Blogger photos have returned. Dont ask. This is a drawing of a symbol that appeared in the condensation on my car window in 2011 ( not the Astra though ) It did align well over the top of the Big Dipper constellations. Such straight lines and parallel lines and angles are not natural. This symbol remained for at least 12 months.
Icy side swipe
Sickle moon splice
Wind blasts
North star flung
From violent arc

I remember the intensely satisfying emotion that occurred when I wrote this short poem. This reminds me of a strange summer night about 3 years ago. I was watching three spaced out silver lights that were in a line very high up in the sky. Maybe it was a group of satellites as light can glint off them, but I doubt three would be in a row. Suddenly there was a flash of light and for a split second a huge shadow shaped crescent appeared in the sky. Again no natural explanation I can think of. I remember the shock. It felt highly profound.
That is a very striking story.
ReplyDeleteAstarte later becomes Aphrodite. Re: the role of Astarte in Poe's poem:
"He follows a star, which does not entirely trust, but decides to see where it is taking him. It turns out that his suspicions were correct, and the star was leading him to the grave of his lost love, Ulalume."
Strangely enough, Poe does not outright call her a person but a "secret," or "the thing."
These visions "represent the speaker’s subconscious mind, where memories and dreams lie frozen in an area that is difficult to reach. He enters this realm with his Psyche, the part of his consciousness connected with the realm of dreams, imagination, and memory."
Those star constellations are gap in space or a window free of obstacles that telescopes use to look into deep space. I sometimes wonder if that is where all this craziness comes from ?
