Harry Potter Morning Light

Compared with the oil paintings in the Louvre Museum, both watercolor and gouache paintings look a bit "shabby".

But if the painting outside just now was expressed in oil painting, it would definitely be astonishingly heavy.

After avoiding everyone, Matilda took them to an empty room.

This is really an empty room, with nothing except two chairs, except of course the shiny wooden floor, and the chandeliers and decorations on the ceiling.

When Rana was the commander of the Guards, he misappropriated public funds to decorate his new house. The style of his decoration was Baroque. With the addition of porcelain and furniture, his savings over the years were not enough.

His wife's natal family runs a bank, but how can "a man" ask his wife to spend money to decorate a new home?

The "darlings" are not short of military pay. After attending the Easter ceremony at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, they even joked with the former commander.

"Madam, what do you want to hear?" Matilda asked after they sat down.

"Go and ask if anyone can sing Handel," said Georgiana.

Matilda took the order and left.

"Who is Handel?" asked Mr. Martin quietly, although they were the only two people in the room.

"Handel is an English-German, he is good at Baroque style." Georgiana said softly, "Do you know Italian?"

"Of course," said Mr. Martin.

"That's just right. I don't know how. You can tell me what they sang later." Georgiana said.

Mr. Martin laughed.

Then Matilda came in, followed by an actress.

"What do you want to hear, madam?" Matilda asked.

"Choose one of your own," Georgiana said to the actress.

"No accompaniment?" said Mr. Martin.

"Handel's songs are all sung a cappella," Georgiana said.

He suddenly realized, and then turned his eyes to the front.

The actress walked to the center of their gaze.

"I'll just choose the one I'm best at," the actress said.

"If you please," said Georgiana.

The actress took a deep breath and sang bel canto.

"Let me cry, cruel fate." After the actress finished singing, Mr. Martin whispered, "How I look forward to the coming of freedom..."

There is endless suffering in the world, and no one has mercy on my suffering.

Let me cry, cruel fate.

How I look forward to the coming of freedom.

The whole song actually only consists of a few lyrics over and over again, and the tempo is so slow that if you are impatient, you will not be able to sit down and listen.

Georgiana sighed.

She once heard from General Lann that two cavalrymen dueled for a lady. They both wanted to win the favor of the woman they met in the salon.

Then one day, the higher-ranking cavalryman took the lady away in front of the lower-ranking cavalryman. The lower-ranking cavalryman felt that it was an insult to him, and then he attacked the other party. duel. They didn't agree on a time or a place, so they dueled in the courtyard downstairs. In the end, the one with the higher rank was blood-splattered on the spot.

Voltaire said that Spanish matadors performed to please women. The book that Georgiana read said that romance, chivalry, "generousness", and even the "heroism" displayed in duels were all caused by Eros. of.

If anyone has seen it on the street, they will find that the military uniforms of soldiers in this era are very eye-catching and gorgeous, forming a sharp contrast with the ragged civilians around them in the poor streets.

The ancient Greeks advocated physical wrestling. Thucydides believed that this was the hallmark that distinguished the Greek nation from barbarian nations. Citizens took off all pretense and competed fairly and equally.

Women's clothing has a "corrective" effect. Once these are removed, the real situation is much worse than imagined, which will inevitably lead to disappointment.

Naked represents the elimination of "pleasant illusions" and a return to reason. But Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden only put on clothes after they knew the shame. The frescoes Michelangelo painted in the Sistine were not the kind of things you would do in a country villa.

The actress obviously sang well, but Georgiana felt drowsy. Maybe this slow music was really hypnotic.

Half asleep, she felt as if someone had kissed her.

Who else is here besides Mr. Martin?

She suddenly woke up.

Then she looked at Mr. Martin, who was listening to the music fascinatedly, as if she had really dreamed just now.

"Force majeure" also includes "unforeseeable". For example, if a lumber supplier signs a contract with a builder, the builder does not expect that he will not be able to collect his money, so he cannot pay the lumber supplier.

Then she recalled the first time she saw Bonaparte at the Tuileries Palace, and she thought he was an "arrogant little man."

The Tuileries Palace had just been renovated at that time... But she didn't smell any smell other than sight. Maybe it was because she didn't have a deep connection with the world and was just a "passer-by".

She was following Severus, and wherever he went, she followed him.

She had thought that even hell would go with her.

If one day she stood in front of the three vengeances, where would they sentence her to go?

Maybe she is already in hell, and Tartarus is just out of reach.

The prerequisite for getting love is beauty. She learned yoga precisely because the children in the lounge did not dare to go to the Quidditch pitch and "exercised" in the lounge. The price of being too close to the kitchen and well fed is that they wear yoga tights that resemble the logo of some tire ad.

In Titian's paintings, there are many companions when he is a child, a boy and a girl when he grows up, and he is alone when he is old.

A child's love may include heart-pounding and breath-holding, but it does not include the intense desire to cling to and hold someone.

A common foreign enemy can unite people in a city-state, like the Romans facing Hannibal of Carthage.

The Romans might have embraced in victory when Hannibal was driven away, or they might have cheered like the French when Georgiana was driven out of the Tuileries.

So what’s the use of reading so many books and understanding these things?

Also after the American Revolution, Britain restored its fiscal deficit through tariff reform and other measures, but France did not, and the queen became the "Deficit Lady."

If according to Epicureanism, Lannes owed money, why didn't Bonaparte help him pay it back? Aren't they friends?

Then she, the "superfluous person", thought of a family who had invested all their assets in Saint-Domingue and suffered heavy losses due to the defeat in the war. Bonaparte helped them.

Of course, it would be meaningless for her to say it. Others would only think that she was speaking for the tyrant.

The actress sang well, but she was no longer in the mood to listen.

She wasn't even in the mood to cry now, as if her tears had dried up.

"Let's change the song," Georgiana said to the actress after she finished singing.

"What do you want to hear, madam?" the actress asked.

"How about the wedding of Figaro?" said Mr. Martin.

Georgiana smiled.

Mr. Martin then asked the actress to sing the cheerful tune.

Lascia ch’io pianga
