[...] He was a great mathematician. He had worked, in geometry, on Hilbert's formal axiomatics and had contributed to the knowledge, in history, of the biography of the latter in the 1930s and 1940s. Hilbert died in 1943: he had therefore not known the end of the war. But he was born in 1862, that is, in the great century of Hugo Vernier that Degraël had brought out of the very wicked turpitude in which he had been plunged for too long already. [...]
[...] As for the second element, it was more directly related to the technical analysis conducted by Degraël on the text. In any case, it was possible to isolate, from the first element, some striking examples that Garraudier hastened to reproduce in his notebook in black ink. 3 « Yahweh, it is by / You that the / forces are played / taken all around - At our expense / They stir without the / Slightest crash like / One hangs well - The cherished children / Of the ruins of / Solomon's Temple " (page 11, bottom swastika-triangle); "Pray that the spirit / Of Göttingen suffer / The scourge of / Losses of readings - Well-formed brains / To geniuses / And to the lights / Of formal sciences - Who guided the / Disciples of Moses / Until the soil of / Great eternal promises " (page 17, top swastika-triangle); "So as not to / Suffer the crowds / Of insolence we / Have submitted to - Our priests the / Inspirations of each / Until the gates / Of the City - And stormy we / Do not submit / To any word / Other than his " (page 19, bottom swastika-triangle).

[...] List 2 of the ten nouns following the S+7 rule: abée, bee, aberration, abigéat, abyss, abjection, abjuration, ablative, ableret, ablution. 1 Assuredly, the browned pages of H. V. cut out failed aspirations for simple and honest glories; beyond literature and its historicization, they had ended up stirring up the slightest misdeeds and had finished transforming them into grotesque pranks that inspired, for the disciples of the hierophant, only an unbearable disgust. But there was more. Epistemology was not going to emerge unscathed from the discovery. It was a light brushing, almost a rustling at the edge of words. [...]
[...] By first number, he meant the ellipse, the first prime number, that is: two. By lively letters from the Orient where one whispers abdalas instead of monks, Garraudier was completely lost. It could have been the Voyage to Athens, which sounded cheerfully to his understanding in the face of the Winter Journey de Vernier. But it was another journey that was being spoken of: a journey in the troubled spirit of the times. 'Kiel and Tanger », he struck himself with surprise. [...]
[...] In short: a relational algebraic geometry. All this, Garraudier could not have discovered without his stay in Jersey. And especially, in Jersey, Garraudier brought to light the second element, perhaps the most essential as proof, he wrote frantically in his notebook, that even Hilbert, and mathematics with him, had picked up from Hugo Vernier. It was a form of truth that made him pale: everything he had believed until then was crumbling like a house of cards. 'Yes, everything I believed'. [...]
