(Reeds) # # Description: # # Gathering mark 14. # # Text and drawing take up most of the page, right up to the # edges, except for some white space left in the middle. # # Four tapering, densely decorated "biological" structures # grow from the four corners of the page towards the center. # # Between these structures there are four paragraphs of normal-looking text. # right next to the respective edge, to be read clockwise. # In the rectangular area bounded by them, there are two more # paragraphs, interrupted by part of the Northwest structure. # # At the very center of the page, below the two extra paragraphs, there is # a mechanically drawn "T-O map"---a circle cut into three sectors # by a diameter (from 09:30 to 03:30) and a perpendicular radius (at 00:30). # # At the left of the T-O map, and partly over it, there is a faint # irregular (pencil?) scribble, mostly illegible, resembling a young # child's scrawl. With some imagination, the first row can be read as # two EVA (larger than normal), a latin "n" with acute accent, and # a latin "F"; below them is an EVA , with very dark and # lighter plume. But none of these readings can be considered # significant. # # In the structure descriptions that follow, "up" means towards # the center of the page, "down" means towards its corner, # "left" is clockwise and "right" is counter-clockwise. # # The Northeast structure looks like a chalyx with thick stem, covered # with rounded, upward-pointing scales (or close-packed leaves). From # its hollow there comes forth a converging bundle of lines, like a # strong water jet (or a bundle of stalks). Halfway though the "jet" # but in front of it there is a bird with outspread wings. The "jet" # ends bruptly after a short distance, to be replaced by a dotted band # (dust? droplets? seeds?). # # The Southeast structure has the shape of a light bulb, with the # narrow end pointing up . The base (wider end) is wrapped in a # leaf-like chalyx. The bulb is decorated with several bands of knobs, # hatchings, and upwards-growing scales. The narrow end (nearest to # the center of the page) ends in a hole with dotted lip. Coming out # from the hole we see the head of another bird, with its ouspread # wings partly visible, and three curved "stalks" carrying three # corncob-like objects. # # The Southwest structure has a base that looks like a flattened # flower, whose petals are made of thick riveted metal plate. On top # of that "flower" there are three similar "stages", each smaller than # the previous one. Each "stage" looks like a ribbed stalk, short and # broad, ending with a multilobed sleeve which holds a heap of round # objects with dots at their centers. From the third stage there grows # a short "jet" (or a fourth ribbed stalk) that opens out into a # funnel or corolla with serrated borders. The right half of this # funnel is dotted. # # The Northwest structure looks like a wide and short cylindrical base # with a band of scales or flaps around its top part, pointing down. # On top of this base is a short conical dome covered with scales or # leaves. Each scale has a dot. From the very tip of the dome there # sprouts a divergent bundle of lines that ends with a cloud of dots, # like a water jet. # # Behind the Northwest structure there is a human figure with light # long hair, probably a woman. Only her head and hand are visible, # just to the right of the "water jet". # # Behind the Southwest structure there is another human figure with # short dark hair, probably a man. Only his right arm, part of his # breast, and half of his face are visible, on the left side of the # structure. # # The man's right hand seems to be holding a short tube, pointed # towards the woman. Issuing from it is a short jet of dots that ends # abruptly after a couple of feet. (The man may also be throwing # things at the woman, and the "tube" could then be the motion traces.) # The woman seems to be waving at the man. # # Comments: # # ## {} # Paragraphs on North side of page # Last edited on 1998-12-19 22:46:23 by stolfi # # "U" transcription by J.
