I've also seen that first quatrain interpreted as an earthquake uncovering the tomb of Peter, the founder of the Catholic Church

Through Attica, fountain of wisdom,
At present the rose of the world:
The bridge ruined, and its great pre-eminence
Will be subjected, a wreck amidst the waves.
My interpretation of this is that the bridge he is talking about is the Rio Antirrio bridge in Greece.

At the foundation of the new sect,
The bones of the great Roman will be found,
A sepulchre covered by marble will appear,
Earth to quake in April poorly buried
We need the original French version and should conduct all work from that version.

This is weird, for me, and has never happened before. Last night, I dreamed that I woke up (one morning) as the news was breaking that Greece had just suffered a 9.9 earthquake. I remember the 'dream me' being convulsed with shock at the magnitude and the images.
Of course one could argue that anxiety is lurking in my subconcious re all the quakes already occurring...
