Sphere Of Twelve Pieces

*
I love to read as De Santillana and Von
Deschend explain that mythology was a
way of recording astrological information
how the figure of Samson in the Bible is
another description of such phenomena

Plato recording the stories of Socrates
concerning heavenly bodies forming the
zodiac in the sky, a sphere of twelve
pieces in which the golden section
can be discerned – so delectable!

Golden Section - Delectable
*
True earth, a ball, twelve colored pieces
above us, Plato knew it as stratosphere
in the aether above, centered on the
centre of the universe

Celestial bodies called gods, the temples in
which they dwell are the houses of the
zodiac, the world is a dodecahedron
a sphere of twelve pieces

A dodecahedron resembling the zodiac and
the year in twelve equilateral equangular
quinquangle pentagons - consisting of
thirty scalene triangles

Numbers twelve, thirty, three-hundred-and-sixty
dividing a pentagon into five isoscele triangles
divided into six scalene triangles: the golden
section – so delectable...
