"THE THREE TRIANGLES on the cover art of "A BOOK THAT NEVER DIES I"

The number "3" is the most unusual number in this world. For instance Photius observes that the Triad is the first odd number in energy, is the first perfect number, and is a middle and analogy.

Also, the Pythagoreans referred it to Physiology; it is the cause of all that has the triple dimension.

It is also the cause of good counsel, intelligence, and knowledge, and is a Mistress of Music, mistress also of Geometry, possesses authority in whatever pertains to Astronomy and the nature and knowledge of the heavenly bodies, connects and leads them into effects.

In Mythology it is referred by Nicomachus to:

1. Saturn, Time, past, present, and future. 2. Latona. 3. The Horn of Amalthea, the nurse of Jupiter. 4. Polyhymnia, among the Muses.

Number being more increased by multiplication than it is by addition, the number 3 is, properly speaking, the first number, as neither the Dyad nor Monad are so increased.

It is a "Middle and Analogy," because all comparisons consist of three terms, at least; and analogies were called by the ancients "middles."

It was considered the Mistress of Geometry because the triangle is the principal of Figures.

With. regard to the Heavenly bodies, the number Three is important; there are 3 quaternions of the celestial signs, the fixed, the movable, and the common.

In every Zodiacal sign also there are 3 faces, and 3.

Why my sudden interest in the number "3". The answer to this is very very simple. Yesterday, I was very overwhelmed at the bad responses I got from the cover art of my upcoming poem "A BOOK THAT NEVER DIES I (the myth of the rain-maker). Not only do I find it as ridiculous, I found some of the comment very pathetic indeed. The cover art of "A BOOK THAT NEVER DIES I" is comprised of 3 TRIANGLES. The meaning of the cover is drawn from the inspiration of the number 3.

First of all, the triangles in the cover art is barely a representation of "mediation." The triangle is also a representation of Bowen's triangle which talks about the importance of the "3rd person". Indeed, the number 3 and the "TRIANGLE" are two of the most powerful objects in the world.

In Ezekiel xiv. v. 14 mentions 3 men who saw a creation, destruction, and a restoration; Noah of the whole world, Daniel of the Jewish world Jerusalem, and Job of his. personal world. The poem talks about three kinds of ends, if we are to make extensions from the scripture above. Indeed, "A BOOK THAT NEVER DIES I" will probably to me will never die because it talks about the world before time, a world in time and the world after time.

The number "3" also represents completes as seen in "THE HOLY TRINITY", the "Traveler's Compasses" among others. This poem completes me and therefore the cover art is a mere symbolism of completion.

It also represents the three Gifts of Grace "FAITH, HOPE and LOVE".

Also, as an Asante, I have been taught through oral traditions that the nature of man is in "THREE FOLDS" and they are "the body, soul and spirit. Man can only be whole if he/she has these three folds imbued in him or her.

The cover art represents the three fold nature of temptation "
"The lust of the flesh."
"The lust of the eyes."
"The pride of life."

It also represents the man's three GREATEST enemy "the World, the Flesh, and the Devil"

It also represents the predictive nature of God. "God is love", "God is spirit", "God is light."
