About this number
Reverse the 12th and you have this date, and both reach 3. The digits of 21 happen to be the very pair from which Cheasley built his 3, the 2 of gathered experience added to the 1 of personal creation. Clement's table gives the 12th F major and this day E minor, though both sit together among the Threes.
Westcott's note on 21 is a small piece of natural history, a hen sitting for 21 days and the almond ripening 21 days after its flower falls. Sepharial's name scheme begins with the word mystery for this figure. Taylor's joyous expression in art was written for the digit 3 and for the letters C, L and U, and reaches this day only by reduction.
