Carly Simon - Touched By The Sun (Official Video) If you want to be brave And reach for the top of the sky And the farthest point on the horizon Do you know who you'll meet there Great soldiers and seafarers, Artists and dreamers Who need to be close, close to the light They need to be in danger of burning by fire... #carlysimon#music Lyrics 🔽 AETATESOLIS

The Hall of Stars in the Palace of The Queen of the Night Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841) Both artworks are entitled the same. They were both designs for The Magic Flute, an opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). The first image is specifically a design for Der Hölle Rache, an aria sung by the Queen of the Night in the second act of Mozart's opera. The second image is a design for the sixth scene of the first Act. The Magic Flute is one of the most famous and recognizable opera arias (chances are that you recognize the music when you look it up). In the scene, the vengeful Queen of the Night persuades Prince Tamino to rescue her daughter Pamina from captivity under the high priest Sarastro. AETATESOLIS

Spirit of the Night (1879) John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893) 🧚🏻 The painting was originally accompanied by the following quote from Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem entitled Night: Wrap thy form in mantle grey Star in wrought! Blind with thine hair the eyes of Day; Kiss her until she be wearied out. Then wonder o'er city and sea and land, Touching all with thine opiate wand - Come, long sought! It shows a fairy, dressed in a transparent veil, flying above a seaside village. In Grimshaw's typical style, the scene is lit up by the moonlight, making the fairy and her veil shimmer. AETATESOLIS
