Therefore am I still
A lover of the meadows and the woods,
And mountains; and of all that we behold
From this green earth; of all the mighty world
Of eye, and ear, - both what they half create,
And what perceive; well pleased to recognise
In nature and the language of the sense,

A mellow October afternoon in my neck of the woods

Listening to this again.

There are no portraits remaining of Hypatia, so here is the next best thing, Raffaello’s version:

Voici le temps des Assassins

Ô mon Bien ! Ô mon Beau ! Fanfare atroce où je ne trébuche point ! Chevalet féerique ! Hourra pour l’œuvre inouïe et pour le corps merveilleux, pour la première fois ! Cela commença sous les rires des enfants, cela finira par eux.
