A Magic Poem Mystery
I found a box filled with notebooks and such from college. In my Math for the Liberal Arts binder I found several fun things (the perpetual calendar was one of those things), including a mysterious Magic Poem. It's so mysterious that I have no idea what it means anymore, and Google and Wikipedia were no help at all. Here's the poem (and yes, it's really all in caps):
A MAGIC POEM
1 HONORED AM I BY A KNOWLEDGE AURA
2 NADIR TO ZENITH, PEARLS OF SUN AND MOON
4 BY MERCURY, MARS, JUPITER, URANUS, NEPTUNE
8 BATHING WITH ZODIAC, VENUS AND AURORA
{B, C, D, F, G, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, T, V, Y, Z}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Q K F L J Y P M V G Z D C B T N
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
I think the part underneath the dashed line tells how many of each letter is in the poem. Not every letter is represented, and the vowels aren't present at all. I also have no idea why the Ns are in bold, but they are. 'Tis a mystery...
