comment:
revolvering
in English: revolve = rotate/ turn/ turn around.
In Spanish: revolver = return to/ to come back.
(in French: revol- ution = recaption of the power).
helices
In English: helices = plural for helix. Helix = geometrical figure in three dimensions which starts in a bend and turns around its own axis in a screw- like form. Helix forms and its appellation occurs in DNA- molecules, organic fibers, ivy (hedera helix), staircases etc. Helix Nebula, also called the Eye of God, is the name of a planetary nebula. The name was given because of the spiral- shaped dust- trace after the dead star NGC 7293.

reviews:
"...och lite fritt översatt, man kan väl kosta på sig det, så kanske man kan kalla stycket för roterande spiraler..."
