"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Rejoice.

'Tis spring ...


Shine with light, o Heavens, flower again, o meadows! Breezes, rejoice!
The small birds singing, the rivers murmuring, now let them be glad!
Those verdant grasses, those whispering waves, now let them be consoled!
Now that, fortunate, from the ashes of Troy, has risen my phoenix!


Sara Mingardo sings "Illustratevi, O Cieli", from Monteverdi's opera, Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria
