matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 12/07/2013 6:37 pm An explanation of my 'help:' In 1973 there were two Germanys. 1973 was the year of my adventure. The 1973 eclipse over Africa was late June. It grew dark and the wind carried sand into Fort Lamy. I learned that the people in the streets were frightened. My location was about 97 per cent totality. The Concorde had been sent to Fort Lamy because of its airport. It location in the center of the continent is of strategic value to France, which maintained a military presence to protect it. As we were boarding another plane to travel to the Cameroon we were able to see the plane sitting on the tarmac. The poem is nothing more than a reference to an eclipse occurring my stay. "... to find any reference to my purpose in the country ..." is a reference to Peace Corps 1973. The red herrings are the English translation of four lines from the national anthem. "Lève les yeux, l'avenir est à Toi." (Raise your eyes, the future is yours) If you Google, in French, this one line you get this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Tchadienne Lyrics in French, Arabic and English. Hope your heads heal soon! Report this Post to the Staff
