This quatrain has been said to foretell of either Napoleon or Adolph Hitler. That would be amazing, if it was seen as that before either Napoleon of Hitler rose to power. As a Prophecy of something to come, it fails in that rgard; but the failure is on the ones who make those claims. Those claims are false, as this quatrain is not about Napoleon or Hitler, it is about that pesky A-rab, Osama bin Laden (who is not dead, believe it or not).
Here is quatrain III-35 in print:
Here is how the Crystal Links website translates this into English:
………………..From the very depths of the West of Europe,
………………..A young child will be born of poor people,
………………..He who by his tongue will seduce a great troop:
………………..His fame will increase towards the realm of the East.
In this quatrain there are multiple uses of the French word de, both capitalized and in lower-case, with it a stand-alone word or a contraction with an article or noun (Du and d’Europe). This word is a directional preposition, which means “to, from, with,” or “of.” In The Prophecies, it is important to try and not repeat the same translation for one French word repeated, so the multiplicity of meaning becomes apparent. Each word can translate as any of the viable translations, as long as adjustments are made to the ones that follow, so they express differently. That is an important element of this quatrain, as the directions make it possible to view this quatrain in a new light.
It is also important to realize that there is no article use in The Prophecies. This is because le, les, la, add nothing of value. Even in the title of Nostradamus’ work – Les Propheties – the Les should be read as “Them,” where that adds the important insight of “Them” plural number “Prophecies” coming from an important “Him” (Le). In this quatrain l’Occident (le Occident), Du (De le), and au (à le) should be read as “him, he,” or “it,” primarily pointing to a male that is the focus of this quatrain. This is further supported by the possessional pronouns sa and Son, which is of “His” making. These small details are important to not be overlooked.
With this said, look at how a viable English translation differs from the one offered by Crystal Links.
………………..To he added secret from it West of Europe,
………………..With wanting inhabitants of a country one lusty child will be bred:
………………..Which by reason of one’s speech will beguile mighty multitude of people,
………………..His reputation with him realm of East more will grow.
This changes profond from a general assessment “of the Western of Europe” as some mysterous place “deep” in there and says “Western Europe” is where “He” has directed “To.” That movement is an “additional” step “Of him” who has a plan involving “Western Europe.” That plan is “secret,” so “With him added to Europe,” he does not make himself publicly known as there. Instead, “he” goes “deep” underground, and stays in a “secret” lair. This is then Osama bin Laden going “To” the Pyrenees Mountains of “it Western,” as the natural border between France and Spain, two nations “of Europe.”
With that main theme statement projecting this movement of “him” to be where his plans of destruction will be focused, a comma mark separates this theme that governs the whole quatrain, allowing the secondary theme statement (line two) to begin a new line of thought that is relative to Osama bin Laden being in a Pyrenees cave. There, “he” will be “With wanting inhabitants of a country,” who are the Basque people. Their ancient kingdom became usurped by France and Spain, such there are indigenous Basque in southwestern France (French citizens) and in northwest Spain, primarily in the Pyrenees region of Navarre (Spanish citizens). The Basque are “wanting people” because they want to again be “one” autonomous nation, separate from France and Spain.
This is where Osama bin Laden will bring a “youthful” perspective to an ancient problem. It will mean the liberation of the Basque from their overlords “of Europe.” This will fuel the passion of the Basque with “lusty” dreams that a “newborn” nation “will be born” and “will be risen” from the oppression they feel as second-class citizens of two countries. This means a unification of the Basque with Osama bin Laden and his plan to overthrow “the Western of Europe,” so the Basque will become a “child” that “will be bred” by this mastermind criminal, so they “will issue from him,” as “he” commands.
With this seen, the secondary theme statement ends with a colon, meaning line three will explain or clarify this “young infant” that “will be born.” This is then importantly focused on “That which will be bred,” where the Basque are “Who will be issued from” the mind of Osama bin Laden, as “his newborn child.” The Basque, “Who” are traditionally devout Roman Catholics, will turn away from nations founded on Christianity and the Church of Rome, “by reason of his speech.” This is not the foaming at the mouth vitriol of an Adolph Hitler, but the “reason” stated from “his” understanding the plight of the Basque, because it is the same as the Palestinians. It will be “his” explaining a plan that will make the Basque become a small, but vital part of the whole. Thus, they “will be seduced” to join forces with “him.”
The key element of this unity with the Basque people is they are considered citizens of two enemy nations and can therefore freely go places in France and Spain that will not draw attention of intelligence agencies. Therefore, the Basque being “added” to Osama bin Laden’s plan “will beguile” the “mighty” and “substantial” powers that are France and Spain. When the time comes for a massive invasion of both countries, by powerful “troops,” the Basque will be seen as a “multitide of people” fighting against those invaders. The Basque will then betray that trust and become a “mighty rabble” that will take revenge against those who refused to listen to their plight.
Understanding that as the clarification as to what “will give rise” towards the forming of a “newborn” nation, line three ends with a comma mark, separting that line of explanatory thought from the statement of line four. This then places important focus on all that will be “His,” where that is Osama bin Laden as a would-be emperor, like Napoleon and Hitler. This will be a “reputation” that has become synonymous with Osama bin Laden, which is surprise attacks that terrorism enemies. This says “His public voice” is recognized as coming from “in him,” where “His” soul is possessed by the soul of Mahommad, making “him” be the Antichrist to one’s soul divinely possessed by Jesus. Osama bin Laden has been allowed this “realm” of authority by “His” supporters “of Asia,” where the Islamic power “of the East” is Iran. They will finance all the needs of Osama bin Laden, based upon “His” plan to destroy Christianity; so Osama bin Laden will have “His” committed soldiers in this “secret” invasion. That “will grow” greater than Muslims united with Basque, because “from Eastern of Europe” will come Communist allies that want to destroy Capitalism and take the bootie of victory as their own.
