There's gotta be something in all of this, either involving cryptomancy or cliomancy or something.  I'm not really sure what, but I'm certain some plots could come from it (use it much like the Voynich manuscript elsewhere in ST, or somesuch).

How about this one:
"The soul secure in her
existence smiles at the
drawn dagger and defies
its point. The stars shall
fade away, the sun
himself grow dim with
age and nature sink in
years, but thou shalt
flourish in immortal
youth, unhurt amid the
war of elements, the
wreck of matter and the
crush of worlds."

Bizarre, isn't it?  A hymn to the Comte (in his female aspect)?  

Mr. Teapot
unhurt amid the war of elements
