Claire De Lune: A Beautiful Piece Of Art

The Lais of Marie de France is a collection of poems that tell enchanting stories of handsome knights, kings, queens, and romance. Although the lais varied in content; the subject of romantic love is the common theme. Since romantic love is the central theme of the lais it is important to define the term. According to the article, The Social Psychology of Love and Attraction romantic love is defined as, “a love that is supposed to stand the test of time, enduring all hardship. Romantic love emphasizes being in love with a certain individual” (Braxton-Davis 1). In the lais Bisclavret, Equitan, Laustic there is a conflict between love and moral responsibility. Many of the characters experience love and tragedy; yet, Marie de France provides a witty insight into loves immoral issues. In the lais loneliness, greed, excitement, and lust are the motivations for many of the characters reckless actions. Marie de France demonstrates how these characteristics combined with romantic infatuation, passion, and a yearning desire; influences corrupt behavior. This behavior then manifested into character traits such as betrayal, adultery, and cruelty that are revealed throughout the lais.

Marie de France relies heavily on the literary element of symbolism in the story of Laustic to create an audience that is sympatric and concerned towards the characters. The nightingale is a fundamental symbol for the story because it ties all of Marie’s elements together. When the wife introduces the

I) According to my previous observation with the full moon, this observation was less lit up than before. There was a small sliver of darkness that appeared now on the right side of the moon from where I was standing.

| Short Background | | Lunar phase (or Moon phase) refers to the appearance of the illuminated portion of the Moon as seen by an observer, usually on Earth. The lunar phases vary cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. One half of the lunar

Madame de Pompadour, mistress, confidante and advisor to King Louis XV of France, and later, Lady in Waiting to his Queen, rose from the middle classes to become a woman of influence in the French court of 1746 - 1764. Pompadour embraced the grand lifestyle of the aristocracy including having her portrait painted numerous times by many artists, utilizing her influence in how she was painted and the messages those paintings portrayed (Jones). Her court painter, Francois Boucher represented her as an idealized beauty (Jones) especially in his masterful oil painting of 1756, Portrait of Madame de Pompadour, which showcased her opulent lifestyle, beauty, and intelligence (Davies 766) and status in the French court. In this portrait, Boucher sets Pompadour in an intimate scene, typical of Rococo style art, dressed in sumptuous silks, surrounded by books, flowers and elaborate draperies, at her ease, gazing into the distance, caught in a moment of thought. Painted shortly after her appointment as Lady in Waiting to the Queen, the painting is a celebration of Pompadour’s status in the French Court of King Louis XV.

They produced the perfect glair, from the lighting above. My favorite art work was, Moth by Sea”, by Jeni Stallings, an oil canvas. In the art work the woman is a moth who is standing on the moon. Her dress is brown and black with the shapes of triangles, and diamonds. Quite like the pattern of the moth’s body. Her antennas are feathers that stick out of the top of her head, her wings are bright, they glow from the reflection of the moon. There is a horizontal line, that separates the night from the light, but this woman is in the middle of both, as she’s standing on night. The gallery I visited represents artists of contemporary

At home Mauricio had the TV going though he was staring intently outside the window. He studied every crevice and crater of the round and shining moon this evening. Regardless how many imperfections he could count with his naked eye, the moon was beautiful to him and none of its imperfections mattered. He held the phone ready to answer in his hand. He remained wide-eyed keeping

Symbolism in Jeanne Marie LePrince de Beaumont’s Beauty and the Beast If great writers are able to escape the influences of their era and write in a timeless fashion, then Jeanne Marie LePrince de Beaumont is certainly not a great writer. Beaumont wrote Beauty and the Beast in eighteenth-century France during the reign of Louis XV. It was a time when the enormous bourgeoisie population was slowly growing in independent wealth, yet remained grossly overtaxed and starved. These peasants were systematically excluded from the aristocracy and the workings of government. France was a stronghold of the dying feudal-influenced monarchy system, in which the king declared himself an absolute monarch with the divine right to rule as

Joan of Arc is credited with leading the French army to victory over England during the 100 years war, which actually lasted around 116 years. She believed she was a messenger of god and was born to bring an end to the war. With permission from the king, Joan of Arc, lacking military and tactical training, led the french army against the English in the city of Orléans. Joan met a tragic end when she was captured by the Anglo-Burgundian and tried as a witch. She was called guilty as a witch and a heretic which led to her untimely demise being burned at the stake at age 19.

This Tipi Moon teaching was organized by Professor Blu Waters, took place in the Tipi in Newnham Campus, and was in the evening of June 15. About fifteen students attended this teaching event. We, including Professor Blu Water, were sitting on Mother the Earth, where all lives from, in a

The moon is by far the biggest and most easily recognizable object in earth’s atmosphere that can be perceived by the naked eye on a cloudless night. It is hypothesized that it came into existence nearly 4.5 billion years ago, from residual debris after a planetary body collided with earth. Although, considered the runner-up to the sun as the second brightest object in the sky, its illumination is deceitful, insomuch as the moon is not a source of light, but instead reflects the sun’s illumination from the half of the moon that is in direct alignment with the sun at that time. More readily identified as a satellite of the earth rather than as a planet itself or even a star, it has a diameter a quarter of the size of earth’s size and it

09/01/2046 Cloudy Hello, I am Stephanie Walker, the only woman on our team. We were training for such a long time to prepare for this project and I am so proud that we make it. Our project, this fantastic project, has a wonderful name – Project Artemis. Our goal, simply to say is to place radio telescopes on the far side of the moon, but we know, it is not simply. As project Apollo is the only successful manned space mission to the moon, our plan will reference a lot of it, but of course not the same, because the mission goal is different and the technologies nowadays is far more developing than that time. We anticipate that this mission will be more successful and that we will be able to find techniques to maneuver or reduce the potential challenges that are essentially brought in by the known and unknown events across the space. To make our project more viable, we had observed the earlier pictures that were taken by the Deep Space Climate Observatory. The images are rare as the satellite only takes them twice a year, some of the images that have been successfully sent to earth revealed that, from the vantage point of earth we only see one side of the moon [1]. There is the lunar transit part of the moon that cannot be seen while observing it from earth. It is the back side of the moon, scientist Adam Szabo, the lunar transit is very different from what we observed or rather the moon’s familiar face [2].

Claude Debussy was born in France on August 22, 1862 during a decade in which Roger Nichols’s claims was one of “the low points of French musical life” (4). Debussy clashed with the musical norms of his time due to his fascination with writing music for how it sounds and
