Victoria, Iudas mercator pessimus, Tenebrae responsories.
Iudas mercator pessimus osculo petiit Dominum
ille ut agnus innocens non negavit Iudae osculum.
Denariorum numero Christum Iudaeis tradidit.
Melius illi erat si natus non fuisset.“Judas, that vilest merchant, sought a kiss from the Lord,
and he, as an innocent lamb, did not deny Judas the kiss.
For many denarii he handed Jesus over to the Jews;
It would have been better for him that he had not been born.”

"You would be heaven If, never, I saw it If, never, I see it. Damned am I, Held in the eyes of siren..."
“You would be heaven
If, never, I saw it
If, never, I see it.
Damned am I,
Held in the eyes of siren suitors.
Damned am I,
Held in the heart of velvet gold.
In this world,
My existence but a shadow,
But in your eyes,
I am sun in which you revolve.
By yours-
Hand, arm, eye, chest,
I will be pulled closer,
Till we are all but one.
Perfect but not,
In my eyes you are still
As you once were, just another.
But in time my eyes have seen,
Past the rough metal, to tender bones,
But you I as well.
And so, in short,
My dear lover, I write to you this long note
Of previous latent heart, wings spread and sing,
I love you.”
- The New Dolce Stil Novo by K. Hernandez

:
“An anthropologist proposed a game to children in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the children that whoever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run, they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that when one could have had all the fruits for himself, they said, ‘UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?’ (‘UBUNTU’ in the Xhosa culture means: ‘I am because we are.)

Rococo, less commonly roccoco, also referred to as “Late Baroque”, is an 18th-century artistic movement and style, which affected several aspects of the arts including painting, sculpture, architecture, interior design, decoration, literature, music and theatre. The Rococo developed in the early part of the 18th century in Paris, France as a reaction against the grandeur, symmetry and strict regulations of the Baroque, especially that of the Palace of Versailles.
((OOC: Third row, picture on the right: There’s an art piece of Belle depicted that way. I should go off to find it! If I get lucky finding it.))
