Jaroslav Seifert's Birth Card: The Ace of Clubs

In the record

Jaroslav Seifert (Czech: [ˈjaroslaf ˈsajfr̩t] ; 23 September 1901 – 10 January 1986) was a Czech writer, poet and journalist. The birth-card coordinate for September 23 is the Ace of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1984 Literature prize.

The Ace of Clubs coordinate

Jaroslav Seifert's birthday maps to the Ace of Clubs (The Creative Pioneer). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Nobel Prize and not a verdict on Jaroslav Seifert. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You start a new idea while it is still usable, and you let it meet the world unfinished.

Jaroslav Seifert in the public record

Seifert was awarded the 1984 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his poetry which endowed with freshness, sensuality and rich inventiveness provides a liberating image of the indomitable spirit and versatility of man". Born in Žižkov, a suburb of Prague in what was then part of Austria-Hungary, Seifert's first collection of poems was published in 1921. He was a member of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ), the editor of a number of communist newspapers and magazines – Rovnost, Sršatec, and Reflektor – and the employee of a communist publishing house. During the 1920s he was considered a leading representative of the Czechoslovak artistic avant-garde. He was one of the founders of the journal Devětsil. In March 1929, he and six other writers left the KSČ after signing a manifesto protesting against Bolshevized Stalinist-influenced tendencies in the new leadership of the party. He subsequently worked as a journalist in the social-democratic and trade union press during the 1930s and 1940s. In 1949 Seifert left journalism and began to devote himself exclusively to literature.
