Frontier The Discovery of a Land, 2023 Just aired on TV here in Australia. Only relevant in that it shows what became of Bacon's vision of The New Atlantis.

Hi Yann No I hadn't noticed this picture You don't miss a thing!

Hear, hear!

What an amazing visionary statement. From a conventional perspective, it makes little sense: The bird of wonder dies-the maiden phoenix- Her ashes new create another heir What did audiences in 1613 make of the 'prophecy' that the late Queen Elizabeth - the "maiden Phoenix" - would have an heir? Under the original title, "All is True", this is the play that famously burnt down the Globe Theatre. During a performance of Henry VIII at the Globe Theatre in 1613, a cannon shot employed for special effects ignited the theatre's thatched roof (and the beams), burning the original Globe building to the ground. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VIII_(play) But who was John Fletcher who supposedly wrote in collaboration with Shakespeare/Bacon? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fletcher_(playwright)

Cornelii Giselberti Plempii Amsterodamum monogrammon https://archive.org/details/corneliigiselber00plem/page/122/mode/2up So nice to look at Plempii's Emblems again. Surreal in the best sense. Here is one for the Phoenixes. A throne-commode? Printers at work: The self and the other... Lord Verulam? The real author will ascend and the mask will fall.

Thanks Yann. The mis-numbering of emblem 33 must be deliberate, surely. And indeed it resembles Nicholas Stone's sculpture, except his head is resting on his right arm in the emblem. Well spotted.

Hi A Phoenix As far as I can tell "lachimo" and "larman' are neither in my dictionary nor explained online.

In poker I think they call that a "royal flush".

Supercilious, belittling, sarcastic, unnecessary. Again, no facts, just bombast!

"I am more interested in debunking ideas..." - you are a long way off debunking anything because you never provide relevant references, only personal opinion. There are 17 personal pronouns ("I") in the 14 lines above.

I used to be a sceptic when it came to Baconian anagrams, but not any more.

Unmistakeable. Thanks A Phoenix!
