Hi Lawrence,

 

Here is something I have just noticed thanks to your great photograph (and photomontage 🙂 )

(I really do not remember if someone already shared this in another topic)

 

LORD, WHAT FOOLES

THESE MORTALS BE !

Worshipful Master Francis Bacon !

FOOLE has become one of my favorite Shakespeare terms. 😉

 

Could it be because of its Kay cipher ? 😉 

Bacon knew what he was saying when he wrote " It is impossible to Love and to be Wise". (Of Love - Bacon's Essays)

Indeed, LOVE = FOOLE  = 50 (Simple cipher) 😊

For the anecdote, few years ago I  decided to visit the famous Chateau de Dampierre sur Boutonne , well known for its alchemical gallery.

Before arriving at destination, I decided to stop at a service area not so far . And before leaving the service area, I took a look at my phone and noticed on google map that the "Chateau" was exactly 33 km away and that I had to take exit 33 !!!😊

Once at destination, I was welcomed by Leda and his Swan ...

The first "Room" that I visited was the Red Room in which could be seen a Painting by ...

WILLIAM BREAKSPEARE !

And right after that I discovered the main room with a french sentence engraved on the Chimney ..

I like to think that Francis Bacon discovered this inscription while in France, and that it was the source of his inspiration.

"IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LOVE AND TO BE WISE"

That too (102). 😉

Bacon in his hidden story for us shares and accepts as he was often describing being the "Foole" over and over. It's nice to know we who are fools are not alone, and when one of us reaches the heights of being Shakespeare, a "Foole" like me, it is comforting and fun! LOL

I step off the edge of the Stratfordian and traditional base of Western Knowledge cliff into the Rosicrucian Baconian void fully confident, as the Foole, that I will land on my feet or somehow survive the abyss of the unknown. Will I? Time Will tell...

LOL

I thought it was the Foole late day Son! LOL

If so he is pointing towards the North Star and looking South with his body facing the East if it is late in the day. 😉

"Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States, sat across the table from Union Officer Le Grand B. Cannon in Fort Monroe, Virginia, in May of 1862. They were the only two around, the senior officers having left for their field assignments, not due to return until later in the day. A book of Shakespeare’s work—which Lincoln had borrowed from a general at the Fort —lay open on the table between them. Cannon had been hard at work, but Lincoln, incapable of action until his absent officers returned, had spent the preceding hours at an empty desk, his nose buried in the small volume of the Bard’s plays. This was not out of character for Lincoln; he had an intense love of Shakespeare and filled many of the elusive free moments he had as Commander-in-Chief with those famous verses. So great was this love that those who knew him well (and even those who didn’t) had grown accustomed to the melancholy, contemplative president breaking into long Shakespearean recitations anytime he got the chance. It was with this intent that Lincoln had approached Cannon on that day in May, offering the officer a break from work in exchange for an audience. Cannon, of course, accepted the invitation."
