I also don't desire to push my beliefs off on as correct.. No one can make that claim until they have the box in hand. We have to be open to the thoughts of others.. It can lead us to the desired goal.

Always open to others theories as long as it makes logical sense. I’m pretty sure there is no casque in Albuquerque but if someone wants to dig there then who am I to say no,I have no casque ,only my eyes and ears to make logical sense out of the puzzle. Many people have spent many years figuring out which verse matches which painting. I think it’s 100% correct. The only city that I contest is Montreal. It could be there ,but to me too many clues point to Quebec City. Someone in the know might open up in the future and reveal the true locations but as long as this continues it’s free publicity for JJP. A lot has changed over time in most parks so one or two or three changes can throw a theory off track. For the most part I think BP chose objects that would be there for a long long time, maybe never this long. GLTA

3 volumes-loud, medium, soft 3 volumes- full, half full, empty Also, "volumes" is sometimes used to describe. Ex.- The fact that he likes you speaks volumes about your character. Also, used in the stock market (and we are talking about NY) For stocks, volume is the total number of shares that change hands.
I'm just trying to make you think in different ways. Who knows how Byron meant it?

My biggest beef with the “St. Louis” people is the vast majority can’t then explain which verse and image belong to the Canadian casque. This is the first I’ve heard someone use the Florida image for “St. Louis”, but then explain the palm tree, conquistador and outline of Florida in the image?
New Orleans has the St. Louis Cathedral, can just as easily explain “St. Louis is correct, city is not” phase by Byron.
We’ve already had the Montreal vs Quebec City discussion, but happy to rehash. Montreal is a straight shot up the interstate from NYC, while Quebec City is not easy to get to AND you have to pass Montreal on the way there. By all accounts Byron DROVE to Canada. Montreal was THE Canadian city at the time before being surpassed by Toronto in recent years. It also hosted the WORLD during Expo 67 and the 76 Olympics. If the goal is to sell an English book to a Canadian audience and get them involved would you chose a bilingual city of 2.8 million or a French speaking city 400,000? Think about it 🤔

I realize there are many definitions to each word but I try to relate the word to a solid object or event . It’s like the whirring sound. Solid object that makes the sound, bike, skateboard, fishing gear, playground equipment, something tied to summer. Can you see something in the painting tied to this ? Believe me I’ve tried many combinations when it comes to the definition of words. I think most every line in the verse relates to something in the painting. It’s not going to be in your face obvious. When he says gaze north towards the isle of B .I say the isle of B is Bowling Green park . You see the fountain in the painting

When he says gaze north towards the isle of B . The word gaze may be intentional. Gaze as in stare north. Stare homonym of stair. Also take twice the hour steps. So find a set of stairs that point north towards the isle of B AND twice the hour eastward towards the dig spot where "more" is.

OK Canuck. For the so called Montreal painting,explain to me the horses tail in the hair in the painting, in the background the image of the person on a horse with a sword, the wingless bird ascending born of ancient dreams of flight, the centre point in the painting and how it relates to the casque location, why are the fingers pointing to the “ legeater “ and then pointing to the centre of the steps ? I could go on and on but no one has come up with a location in a park in Montreal yet ,that makes sense.
Wingless bird could be the Virgin Mary, ( too old for me ) , but where is the monument in the park with all the other clues combined to confirm this? Sure it could be buried by the Mount Stephens club ,but it doesn’t make sense when it comes to immigration. BP travelled a lot so to go a bit further to Quebec City is not a reason to bury it in Montreal. The numbers in the hair might not be Lat long. I can’t see a definite 4 , where as you can clearly see the Lat long. numbers in the other paintings and not all in the hair. Well it’s all theory for now.
Toronto ( Toronto island) or Vancouver ( Stanley park),would make more sense as a place to bury a casque not Montreal.
I think when the verse says look down and see the simple roots in rhapsodic man’s soil then your back is to the Statue of Liberty and your looking down from the edge of the East Coast memorial wall and if you lift your head up you are gazing north toward the isle of B aka Bowling Green park

Now Choice, I’m not saying your theory doesn’t have any merit . It’s just that I can’t make it all fit the painting and make sense. So tell me why the eagle head in the painting is a match for the Chrysler bldg. and not Ellis Island ferry bldg.

So rhapsodic man may be Isaiah and his soil would be the little planter by his name.

Her arms form a V like the painting, eagle head at the front, straight shot to Queensboro bridge over the isle of Blackwell's AND this picture is present in the book. BTW the woman modeling for the statue is called miss Manhattan. goo.gl/maps/5Nn7q28vBkRsWmtP6

You said you are open to logical discussion, so why would you bury a casque in a city where 95% of the population speak French as their first language when the book was printed in English? This sounds highly illogical doesn’t it?

I thought the Japanese clues it says think of a famous song from the word rhapsodic . So what your looking for is the name of that famous song , Rhapsody in Blue.

Did you know song and poem translate to the same word in Japanese?

I don’t think the book was ever published in Canada, could be wrong. Oops, I was wrong. On page 4 of the book it says published in the USA and Canada. Hmmmm maybe they did one in French?
It doesn’t really matter about the language. My guess is all the Federal (park) employees have to be bilingual anyways. Tourist town. My guess is that the market for this book was younger kids so the odds of someone going from NewOrleans to Cleveland or visa versa to look for a casque is pretty slim. To go from Japan to look for a casque, close to zero.
Anyways back in the day all one had to do is mail in the solve and get the prize. Unfortunately not today Quebec City is more of a tourist destination.

Well I’m not much of a poem guy but I have heard of Rhapsody in Blue. So what is the famous poem?
