Dear Brian,

Their pairing suggests to me this:

I + SERENE + TRINITY = SIRINE + ETERNITY,

where "Sirine" is a part of "Ben Sirine," an obscene ancient Arab, expounder of annagrammatic dreams (2.2).

The Chose "Trinity Court" was renamed "Serenity Court" in honor of Sirin.

By the way, all this is a part of the great charadoid (a charade-looking puzzle) just solved by me. The key-word to this charadoid is the word "wine" ("In vino veritas!" shout drunkards with the eyes of rabbits - p'ianitsy s glazami krolikov - in Blok's poem "Incognita"). See my article "Istina v vine: razgadka spriatannogo v "Ade" sharadoida," soon to appear in Zembla.

best,
Alexey
