Kindly consider me an eyewitness delivering my personal
report. Ask the police, they will tell you that one witness
saw a blue jacket, the next one a red jacket, and the third
a yellow one. What counts in the end is that the right villain
is revealed by a witness.

The joke in the Baroque theater is that the chester is speaking
the truth, the least likely one to do so. And you, as a Marlowe
supporter in the Shakespeare question, helped me establish
de Vere. So Peter Farey made a fine joke.

I replied yesterday afternoon, telling you that I can't print
out your blog, told you so in all detail, and therefore had to
answer your question in a general way. Didn't you see it?
Must I repeat it for you? Well then:

(begin of copy)

I just tried to print it out, impossible, four pages
slid out of the printer, the first one with the title,
rest of the sheet empty, then your blog on the next
page, cut off in the middle of the second table,
then another empty page, only a narrow column
of advertisements on the margin, then a page with
a couple of links at the top, rest empty. Most of
your question blog swallowed. So I had to read
it online and will answer it here, without having
studied it at home. Kurt Kreiler wrote a book on
The Man who Invented Shakespeare, I heard him
on a radio program but didn't see his book, an
English translation is bound to appear this summer,
as I am informed, and he will answer your questions,
I hope, for he found a lot of remote material. For the
time being I rely on him for the historical aspects
and carry on my hermetic work. First I read Hamlet,
looking out for possible references of Hamlet and
de Vere, but found nothing new, then I read Romeo
and Juliet, looking out for the first appearance of
Romeo, having been taught by Homer who always
gives a lot of information on a god or a hero when
introducing him, and found the following question
in Act 1 Scene 1

  O, where is Romeo?     (question)

which quickly led to the following lines

  O, Vere is Romeo!     (pun)

  de Vere, Oxford     (answer)

  Edward de Vere    (name)

  Earl of Oxford     (title)

Pun, answer, name and title consist of twelve letters each,
pun, answer and name are bound by the same letter,
while the binding letter E..e of the name and the binding
letter O...o of the pun yield EO, the early signature of
Edward de Vere. Reason enough for me to look out
for parallels between the play and de Vere's life.
I dare say that the play has many layers, one of them
being the bard telling about his vocation and his fate
as playright and poet, and how his art goes along with
troubles he encountered in his life, and some he caused
himself. I know very little about Edward de Vere, coming
from Homer, interpreting his Odyssey, but I think a fresh
look at the greatest playright of all times might also be
welcome, at least to some
