HAND OF ORION

Young Woman Smoking, 1894 - Francisco Masriera y Manovens

Translate: The days are melting into short periods and moments I don't know myself anymore, all of my bearings lost I thought I saw the world for what it really was But its arrival torments me, and yet I thought I was stronger, worn out by our story My wounds open up for him, shouldn't I drift away? The wind is blowing East, from laughters and caresses I sway in another way And I'm a sleepwalker My dream becomes silence, and I wander around without it The doubts of an incredulous person are getting lost into the night And everything's settled I only live off ideals and broken words I try to be complete with love and strangers When he puts his arms around me, I no longer feel like a coward Past challenges seem far away, and yet I know that this test can destroy forever The hopes of a life scattered with regrets But when he's looking at me, I feel my heart racing Being without him is like a slow approaching death The wind is blowing East, the ocean's lulling me I sway with love And I'm a sleepwalker My dream becomes silence, and I wander around without it The doubts of an incredulous person are getting lost into the night And everything's settled I only live off ideals and broken words I try to be complete with love and strangers https://t.me/bellatrixartss

The painting "Death of Sappho" by Miguel Carbonell Selva depicts a tragic and poetic moment from ancient Greek literature. To fully appreciate the story behind this painting, it's essential to understand the life of Sappho, a renowned Greek poet, and the legends associated with her. ### Who is Sappho? Sappho (circa 630-570 BC) was one of the most famous female poets of ancient Greece, known for her lyrical poetry. She lived on the island of Lesbos, and many of her poems are devoted to love and human emotions. Due to her beautiful verses, Sappho earned the nickname "Melosina" or "Sweet-voiced." ### The Legend of Sappho's Death: One of the most famous legends about Sappho is her tragic end due to unrequited love for a young man named Phaon. According to this legend, Sappho, driven by her despair over not winning Phaon's love, leaped to her death from the high cliffs of Leucadia into the sea. Although this story is likely apocryphal, it has had a significant impact on literature and art. ### The Painting "Death of Sappho": Miguel Carbonell Selva, a Spanish painter of the 19th century, captures this tragic moment in his painting "Death of Sappho." In the painting, Sappho is depicted at a critical moment, poised to leap from the cliffs. Her face reflects deep and conflicting emotions stemming from love and despair. ### Analysis of the Painting: - Emotional Atmosphere: The painting uses a contrast of light and dark colors to effectively convey a sense of tragedy and hopelessness. - Character Details: Sappho is portrayed with a sorrowful expression and a hesitant posture, indicating her inner turmoil between life and death. - Natural Setting: The detailed depiction of the high cliffs and the sea below highlights the imminent danger and certain death if she jumps. ### Conclusion: "Death of Sappho" by Miguel Carbonell Selva not only captures a historical moment but also conveys the profound emotions and human tragedy associated with it. This work of art illustrates the powerful impact of love and despair on the human soul, as well as the ability of art to express deep emotions and historical narratives.
