   > The question is--one question--[i][b]given the context[/i][/b], why would   
   one head be facing down and the other at an angle? To that point, everything   
   about the page numbers is obvious and self-evident, and leads to the   
   question...   
      
   As you know, my suggestion was that the downward orientation of some heads   
   referred to the mouth, which is of course in the lower part of a head, and   
   thus symbolized talking. Given the importance of talking in TDB (the general   
   theme of communication, the    
   song Keep Talking, the lights between the mouths on UK CD cover, the "Domus   
   Mea Domus Orationis" inscription on Monk's Door in Ely Cathedral), this would   
   make some sense. Moreover, the downward-oriented heads contain numbers written   
   in Spanish and Hebrew,   
    which are Mediterranean nations that seem to exhibit emotional talkativeness.   
   This talkativeness is not purely left-hemispheric verbal communication but   
   also infused with emotion, suggesting an integration of the two hemispheres.   
   And the head that is    
   oriented left-down has its number in Italian, which is a nation that is split   
   between a culturally Western part in the north and a culturally Mediterranean   
   part in the south. Another sign of hemispheric integration is that although   
   these three nations    
   uphold Western values (Christianity/Judaism, democracy, market economy) they   
   have also been inhabited by Muslims (in the case of Italy, only the south),   
   which is an Eastern/collectivistic/irrational influence.   
      
   I know that you have suggested that the downward orientation of heads refers   
   to the body, through which the hemispheric integration may be done as well. I   
   remember that you have also hinted at the importance of the body for Arabs or   
   Moors but that was    
   never clear to me.
