And all these years I thought I was the only FReeper who likes Waterhouse. I currently have his painting “The Magic Circle” as my laptop screensaver. Thanks for posting!

Good poetry, good art.

Idiot that I am, I never even noticed that she was drawing a circle. What I was noticing was the Hamlet crows on the skull and the fact that Waterhouse seems fascinated with birds, mostly pigeons.

Sincere thanks. I was worried how an aria would go over, but romantic music, romantic art - seemed a natural.

I’m partial to John Everett Millais for a pre-Raphaelite. I think I was in love with the Farmer’s Daughter and the brunette girl in “Autumn Leaves.” Something about a forlorn damsel that hits at the Galahad in me.

I like Berlioz, but I have not explored that particular opera.
Maybe it’s time. :-)

Ahhh....the crows/ravens on the back edge of the boiling cauldron bring back memories of the South Korean Olympics Dove Fry opening ceremony.
Kidding aside, nice post. Thank you.

Thank you. Never heard this Aria before. Now I have to get the entire opera.
To: Covenantor
You’re funny! My high school choral nun trained in Rome and grew to absolutely HATE pigeons. I used to love seeing them in Chicago’s Grant Park.
Thanks, Covenantor. Much appreciated.

I’m not much into opera, but there are two that take me over. Expect some day to see something from Berlioz’ Damnation of Faust.
