	Cao Zhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Often mistitled The Quatrain of Seven Steps after a real poem by Cao Zhi, it was presented without a title but with slight variations in the novel.
		On the wall there was a painting of two oxes fighting at the foot of a wall, and one of them was falling into a well.
		Cao Zhi took seven paces as instructed, and the poem was already formulated in his heart.

		And further: The stages that mark the wayfarer's journey from the abode of dust to the heavenly homeland are said to be seven.
		In this city the heaven of ecstasy is upraised and the world-illuming sun of yearning shineth, and the fire of love is ablaze; and when the fire of love is ablaze, it burneth to ashes the harvest of reason.
		He drinketh the seven seas, but his heart's thirst is still unquenched, and he saith, "Is there yet any more?"+F15 He shunneth himself and draweth away from all on earth.

	Pope Benedict XVI and the Rose Prophecy
		Personally, I think this quatrain is really about another "great" pope who will witness this great star/two suns phenomenon on the night that he is forced to flee the Vatican and take up residence in the old papal castles of Avignon, France, where popes reigned in exile during the 14th century.
		Quatrain 2.97 suggests that some anti-Christian leader, likely an Al Qaeda leader, will order the Pope and everyone in his entourage to be gunned down during a visit to an important river port city.
		On arrival in Sofia, the pope was carried down the steps of the plane on a lift and his usual ritual of kissing the tarmac on disembarkation was substituted for his blessing a pot of soil lifted to his lips.

		The quatrain references the end of the second millennium after the birth and death of the Messiah, which historically the Christian culture also has anticipated as a time when great change will occur.
		These interpretations of Nostradamus’ quatrain show, as was stated at the beginning of this article, that there is no general consensus on the meaning of the quatrain.
		Then the question to ask is whether this quatrain was actually the result of a divine vision or something that Nostradamus imagined to fit the superstition concerning the seventh millennium.

		The seven tracks on this CD span a two year period, and some lineup changes in the formation of Davis's new band are to be expected.
		Throughout the seven numbers, the clarity, precision, and extreme finesse of bassist Ron Carter simply floored me. Endlessly clever and sexy runs that fill, support, and play off the racing scales and sublime croonings of Miles Davis on trumpet.
		Seven Steps To Heaven: A familiar number to me. Written only a month before this recording, it's become a stone cold classic.

	The Honeycomb Library - On Shakespeare's Sonnet 50
		In the third quatrain and couplet, the horse’s groan that answers the rider’s angry slash of spurs stabs him with pangs of grief worse than the wounds in the animal’s side as, in despond, he ponders the love he has left behind, and the lonely times ahead.
		The first quatrain is preceded by forty-nine sonnets, in many of which the writer urges his beloved to have children-“one or ten”-in order to leave behind him a living memento for the writer.
		This quatrain speaks to me of the emptiness of a life that’s fixed on affection rather than duty, and how easily such a life is stripped of meaning and of comfort.

		Sides will be drawn seven years before the end of the 20th century, or the war will be fought sometime after 1999 and will last for seven years.

		These seven states are: repentance (tawba), Fear of God (Wara) detachment from the world (Zuhd), Poverty (Fuqr),patience or forbearance (Sabr), Surrender (Tawakkul) and a joyful acceptance of God's Will in wordily affairs (ridza).
		It is, nevertheless also true that the true source of this journey, whether nine, or seven or forty stages, lies within man. Let us now turn to some of the techniques that Baba suggests in his book Sadhana.

		The two quatrains and the final tercet are marked off by closing eleven-syllable lines, thus subdividing the fourteen lines of the poem into (4+ 4) lines and (3+ 3), as in sonnet settings.
		In a similar, later madrigal by Orazio Michi, however, John Hill surmises that the triple meter of lines 5–6 of an eight-line poem was suggested by their isometric patterning, with one anapest followed by two trochees.
		After lines 5 and 6 are set in five measures of 3/2, when line 7 returns to C mensuration it does not return to the declamatory style of the opening quatrain (which is delayed until the closing tercet).

	The Quatrain of Seven Steps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The famed scene (79th hui) describes Cao Pi's suspicions of his brother Cao Zhi trying to usurp his rule (Cao Pi was also jealous of his brother's talents, particularly his masterful command of imagery).
		Consequently, Cao Zhi is summoned to the court and is issued an ultimatum in which he must produce a poem within seven strides such that Cao Pi is convinced of his innocence.
		The poem itself is written in the traditional five-character quatrain style and is an extended metaphor that describes the relationship of two brothers and the ill-conceived notion of one harming the other over petty squabbling.

		She will not be separated from him; in her concluding quatrains (5 and 6) there is no transcendence or compensation to be found.
		It is a transition from the quatrain's violence to the sestet's restraint.

		Warmongers love to see America and China in this quatrain, but it is certain that Nostradamus saw nothing more than a couple of flickering video-taped films, which led to his lifelong love affair with the movies.
		The use of Libra in the first line of the quatrain is generally made out to be the familiar sign of the Zodiac, but we outright reject this for the sake of the interpretation above.

		Actually I can almost foresee a situation where the current Pope steps down due to his physical ailment making him unable to perform his duties and thus allowing a new Pope to come in while JPII is still alive, in effect creating two popes, or 'two suns'.
		It's almost as if the challenge for us (artificial or not) is to recognize the covertly set up 'end-time storyline' and then step out of it by way of simply becoming aware of the patterns so that it becomes a metaphorical story, not something so literal.
