#Lucifer

[levindesdieux]

From 'neath the castle's dark retreat, Her silent way she wended, Each evening to the window seat Where Lucifer attended.

And secretly, with never fail, She watched his gracious pace, Where vessels drew their pathless trail Across the ocean's face.

Mihai Eminescu, Luceafărul, translated by Corneliu M. Popescu. Illustration by Octavian Smigelschi, 1904.

A young flute player by the sea, 1861

Larger than natural, the painting is 75"/57"

Note, the lizard, considered a good luck charm in many cultures, it symbolizes regeneration, so here the young boy carrying new seed.

This one plays the Aulos.

Called “aulete” he had a central role in the sacrifices and in the Panhellenic Games had the role of conductor in the ancient “orchestra”.

à la belle étoile

Alone on the byway, I chanced upon a lad We slumbered à la belle étoile by the campfire And we shared the journey, though he wouldn’t say much. I was free; I had escaped the family clutch But he was still captive of a somber desire And these are the verses I penned to make him glad.
