Charles Aznavour   &   Édith Piaf

Plus Bleu Que Tes Yeux (1997)


Paroles et Musique: Charles Aznavour (1951)

Plus bleu que le bleu de tes yeux,	Si un jour tu devais t'en aller
Je ne vois rien de mieux,	Et me quitter,
Même le bleu des cieux.	Mon destin changerait tout-à-coup
Plus blond que tes cheveux dorés	Do tout au tout.
Ne peut s'imaginer,
Même le blond des blés.	Plus gris que le gris de ma vie,
Plus pur que ton souffle si doux,	Rien ne serait plus gris,
Le vent, même au mois d'août,	Pas même un ciel de pluie.
Ne peut être plus doux.	Plus noir que le noir de mon c?ur,
Plus fort que mon amour pour toi,	La terre en profondeur
La mer, même en furie,	N'aurait pas sa noirceur.
Ne s'en approche pas.	Plus vide que mes jours sans toi,
Plus bleu que le bleu de tes yeux,	Aucun gouffre sans fond
Je ne vois rien de mieux,	Ne s'en approchera.
Même le bleu des cieux.	Plus long…

How Populous is NYC? Big enough to fit 8 states into it

How Populous is NYC?

Big enough to fit 8 states into it
by Jason Kottke Aug 11, 2016

The population of NYC is equal to the combined populations of Vermont, Alaska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and West Virginia. Here’s what that looks like on a map.

Put another way: 16 US Senators represent as many people in those states as a fraction of one of New York States’ Senators represent the population of NYC. A Senator from Wyoming represents 290,000 people while one from New York represents 9.8 million people…and in California, there are 19 million people per Senator. That gives a Wyoming resident 65 times the voting power of a California resident.

The Small-State Advantage in the United States Senate
The Constitution has always given states with small populations a lift, but the scale of the gap has grown in recent decades 

These 62 senators represent about one-fourth

of the people in the United States

So do these 6 senators.

Over-representation in the Senate is among the reasons why the smallest states (and their local governments) received more federal aid per capita in 2010.

	People per senator	Aid per capita

Texas	13,030,000	1,740

The Secrets of Mozart’s

“Magic Flute”

Die Zauberflöte

Joshua Borths

The Magic Flute (German: Die Zauberflöte), K. 620, is an opera in two acts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to a German libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder. 

The work is in the form of a Singspiel, a popular form that included both singing and spoken dialogue. 

The work premiered on 30 September 1791 at Schikaneder's theatre, the Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden in Vienna, just two months before the composer's premature death.

In the opera the Queen of the Night persuades Prince Tamino to rescue her daughter Pamina from captivity under the high priest Sarastro; instead, he learns the high ideals of Sarastro's community and seeks to join it. 

Separately, then together, Tamino and Pamina undergo severe trials of initiation, which end in triumph, with the Queen and her cohorts vanquished. The earthy Papageno, who accompanies Tamino on his quest, fails the trials completely but is rewarded anyway with the hand of his ideal female companion Papagena.

The Queen of the Night Aria

The Magic Flute and Freemasonry
The Magic Flute is noted for its prominent Masonic elements, although some scholars claim that the Masonic influence is exaggerated. 
Schikaneder and Mozart were Masons as was Ignaz Alberti, engraver and printer of the first libretto. The opera is also influenced by Enlightenment philosophy, and can be regarded as an allegory advocating enlightened absolutism.

The Queen of the Night represents a dangerous form of obscurantism or, according to some, the anti-Masonic Roman Catholic Empress Maria Theresa, or, according to others, the contemporary Roman Catholic Church itself, which was also strongly anti-Masonic.

Her antagonist Sarastro symbolises the enlightened sovereign who rules according to principles based on reason, wisdom, and nature. 
The story itself portrays the education of mankind, progressing

• From chaos (the serpent)
• Through religious superstition (the Queen and Ladies )
• To rationalistic enlightenment (Sarastro and Priests),
• By means of trial (Tamino) and error (Papageno), 
• Ultimately to make "The Earth a heavenly kingdom, and mortals like the Gods"  ("Dann ist die Erd' ein Himmelreich, und Sterbliche den Göttern gleich")

 This couplet is sung in the finales to both acts.
