O you possessed of sturdy intellect, observe the teaching that is hidden here...beneath the veil of verses so obscure. Seek the treacherous doge of Venice who severed the heads from horses... and plucked up the bones of the blind. Kneel within the gilded mounseion of holy wisdom, and place thine ear to the ground, listening for the sounds of trickling water. Follow deep into the sunken palace...for here, in the darkness, the chthonic monster waits, submerged in the bloodred waters...of the lagoon that reflects no stars.
That was a paragraph from the story that I am reading that was an intended mystery for the main characters to figure out. I will attemp to figure out what it is saying, as well as how it may affect the story. What I think it means is that the smarter people should try to read what the message in between the lines is, the theme, if you will. And in Venice, somewhere, if you lie down and listen, you will hear a small trickling of water that leads to an underground palace that has a deadly disease in it. How I think this may affect the story is that Langdon and co. will go to Venice, and find that the message does not end in Venice after all.
