"Nymphs Finding the Head of Orpheus" by John William Waterhouse (1900)

Location: Private Collection

The Story Behind the Artwork

In 1900, British artist John William Waterhouse unveiled "Nymphs Finding the Head of Orpheus," a poignant depiction of a scene from Greek mythology. The painting illustrates the aftermath of Orpheus's tragic demise, where his severed head and lyre, cast into the river Hebrus by the Maenads, float downstream to be discovered by river nymphs. Waterhouse's interpretation captures the moment of discovery, emphasizing the themes of loss and the enduring power of art.

Symbolism and Details

The composition centers on two nymphs seated by the water's edge, their expressions a blend of curiosity and sorrow as they gaze upon Orpheus's lifeless head and lyre drifting in the water. The serene landscape, with its muted tones and delicate flora, contrasts with the macabre subject matter, enhancing the painting's emotional depth. Waterhouse's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the nymphs' flowing garments and the gentle ripples of the water, creating a harmonious balance between beauty and tragedy.

Aerial view of the Windsor Castle

Construction started in 1070.

Windsor Castle grounds cover 13 acres (5.3 hectares) and combines the features of a fortification, a palace, and a small town. The present-day castle was created during a sequence of phased building projects, culminating in the reconstruction work after a fire in 1992.

It is in essence a Georgian and Victorian design based on a medieval structure, with Gothic features reinvented in a modern style. Since the 14th century, architecture at the castle has attempted to produce a contemporary reinterpretation of older fashions and traditions, repeatedly imitating outmoded or even antiquated styles.

The Golden Temple, also known as Sri Darbar Sahib and Sri Harmandir Sahib, is located in the Indian city of Amritsar in India.

The temple is the principal place of worship for the Sikh people, allowing equal entry to all casts, creeds, and races.

The temple is part of a larger complex organized around an artificial pond, or sarovar, on which it appears to float, connected by a long causeway to the surrounding structures.

The Golden Temple of India's more formal name, Harmandir, comes from the combination of its architect, Guru Arjan Sahib, with "Hari" or "god" and "mandre," meaning "house."

As it is alternately called Darbar, meaning "assembly hall," The original structure was built in the late 1500s.

However, it was reconstructed after damage from Afghan invaders, with its surface covered in gilt and gold foil.

This covering has granted it its more general name, the Golden Temple.

The Darbar Sahib Amritsar, the holy city of the Sikh people, is located in the state of Punjab in northwestern India.

Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin

https://youtu.be/Ly6ZhQVnVow

The most famous rock song of all time, "Stairway To Heaven" wasn't a chart hit because it was never released as a single to the general public. Radio stations received promotional singles which quickly became collector's items.

On Tuesday November 13, 2007, Led Zeppelin's entire back catalogue was made available as legal digital downloads, making all of their tracks eligible for the UK singles chart. As a result, at the end of that week the original version of "Stairway To Heaven" arrived in the UK singles charts for the first time.

Previously, three covers had charted: the multinational studio band Far Corporation reached #8 with their version in 1985, then reggae tribute act Dread Zeppelin crawled to #62 in 1991 and finally Rolf Harris' reworking outdid the other two, peaking at #7 in 1993.

Robert Plant spent much of the '70s answering questions about the lyrics he wrote for "Stairway." When asked why the song was so popular, he said it could be its "abstraction," adding, "Depending on what day it is, I still interpret the song a different way - and I wrote the lyrics."

The lyrics take some pretty wild turns, but the beginning of the song is about a woman who accumulates money, only to find out the hard way her life had no meaning and will not get her into heaven. This is the only part Plant would really explain, as he said it was "a woman getting everything she wanted without giving anything back."

Led Zeppelin started planning "Stairway" in early 1970 when they decided to create a new, epic song to replace "Dazed And Confused" as the centerpiece of their concerts. Jimmy Page would work on the song in an 8-track studio he had installed in his boathouse, trying out different sections on guitar. By April, he was telling journalists that their new song might be 15-minutes long, and described it as something that would "build towards a climax" with John Bonham's drums not coming in for some time.

In October 1970, after about 18 months of near constant touring, the song took shape. Page and Plant explained that they started working on it at a 250-year-old Welsh cottage called Bron-yr-Aur, where they wrote the songs for Led Zeppelin III. Page sometimes told a story of the pair sitting by a fire at the cabin as they composed it, a tale that gives the song a mystical origin story, as there could have been spirits at play within those walls.

From the balcony at my homestead, the nearby island can be seen in the distance.

It is often shrouded in clouds or mist, and the summit is a three day round trip trek not for the faint hearted.
