This speech was delivered by Lucky under the orders of Pozzo. Often thought of as nonsensical (which can be argued so), I believe that (almost) every word that comprises the speech has a meaning. This is my attempt to rip apart the meanings.
Line one: Given the existence as uttered forth in the public works of Puncher and Wattmann of a personal God quaquaquaqua with white beard quaquaquaqua outside time without extension who from the heights of divine apathia divine athambia divine aphasia loves us dearly with some exceptions for reasons unknown.
This part is saying that if God were to truly have a white beard, as he is commonly depicted as having one, then it is impossible to live outside time. White beards are a sign of aging, so if God is truly immortal, then it is unlikely that ANY facial hair would be present, let alone a white beard. This means that humans may have a big misunderstanding about the appearance and may not even know a bit about what God is. The ‘quaquaquaqua’ simply is the repetition of the conjunction ‘qua’ which means ‘to be’ or ‘to exist’. He goes on to say that God governs over us without emotion, calm and collected; but he is unable to reveal himself to us because of this ‘divine aphasia’ he governs by. Lastly, Lucky says that God’s love is only conditional and we are unable to perceive or believe the reasons why because god is too divine.
Line two: (God) Suffers like the divine Miranda with those who for reasons unknown but time will tell are plunged in torment plunged in fire whose fire flames if that continues and who can doubt it will fire the firmament that is to say blast hell to heaven so blue still and calm so calm with a calm which even though intermittent is better than nothing but not so fast…
I believe that the ‘divine Miranda’ is simply one of the tiny bits of nonsense spattered without. If the ‘divine Miranda’ were to contain any significance at all, I think it would only be to personalize the group of people being caste into Hell later in the sentence. Lucky goes on to say that if we keep on fueling this hell fire with all of these souls, the number burned is of course growing, that the flames of hell would begin to invade the realms of heaven. If the flames of hell were to invade heaven, heaven would slowly become hell, and perhaps that is what is happening now.
Line three: considering what is more that as a result of the labors left unfinished crowned by the Acacacacademy of Anthropopopometry of Essy-in-Possy of Testew and Cunard it is established beyond all doubt all other doubt than that which clings to the labors of men that as a result of the labors unfinished of Testew and Cunnard it is established as hereinafter but not so fast for reasons unknown that as a result of the public works of Puncher and Wattmann it is established beyond all doubt that in view of the labors of Fartov and Belcher left unfinished for reasons unknown of Testew and Cunard left unfinished it is established what many deny that man in Possy of Testew and Cunard that man in Essy that man in short that man in brief in spite of the strides of alimentation and defecation wastes and pines wastes and pines and concurrently simultaneously
What the first blob of the sentence is saying is that most human labor is insignificant and unfinished. All human labor is only a comfort mechanism and done for a reward. The stutter in Academy in this section was to compare the Academy to a turd. The Ca when stuttered creates the word ‘caca’ which mean feces, therefore hinting that the academy is a joke and slightly turd-like. Again with the next word: Anthropometry, which means the measurement the individual human. The Po is stuttered to form the word ‘popo’ which again refers to feces. He is saying that the measurement of human is just poop. (Perhaps it can’t be measured) The names Testew and Cunard mean in french ‘the stubborn and stupid’ and the names ‘Fartov and Belcher’ mean that either two things: Toots and giggles (Belcher as a name means to laugh), or farts and facial flocculants. Whatever floats your boat. He then says that every labor that the ‘stupid and stubborn’, the loving (Essy), or any human does is rewarded in a nasty demise (hence the ‘waste and pine’)
