The Quatrain The great man will be struck down in the day by a thunderbolt, An evil deed, foretold by the bearer of a petition. According to the prediction, another falls at night time. Conflict at Reims, London, and pestilence in Tuscany.
Connections • “great man” - JFK was President/ wealthy family • “struck down in the day” - killed in the afternoon • “thunderbolt” – gunshot • “petition” – refers to death threats • “another falls” – Robert Kennedy killed 5 years later • “conflict at Reims, London” – worldwide ramifications
Skeptics’ Views • No mention of “Kennedy” – could be any great leader killed during the day • Does not specify “another” is a relative – could be interpreted to mean anyone else • No mention of time period or place – vague enough to apply to many circumstances • Not clear how the deaths contributed to conflict at Reims and London or pestilence in Tuscany.
Conclusions • Too vague!!
