Originally inspired by personal research into the
Voynich Manuscript and Nostradamus' Prophecies, more specifically Century I, Quatrain 1. For those interested, here is the French & English transcript courtesy of the

French:
Estant assis, de nuit secrette estude,
Seul, reposé sur la selle d'airain,
Flambe exigüe, sortant de solitude,
Fait proferer qui n'est a croire vain.
English:
Sitting by Night in my secret Study,
Alone, resting upon the Brazen Stool,
A slight flame breaking forth out of that solitude,
Makes me utter what is not in vain to believe.
