Three Tales
Los tres cuentos vieron la luz en 1877, pero fueron escritos dos años antes.
La idea de Flaubert era darse un respiro y escribir algo más fresco que la complicación a la que estaba sometido con Bouvard y Pécuchet, y es por ello que decide publicarlos.
Están ambientados en épocas bien distintas, el primero durante algunos años atrás, durante sus días en el siglo XIX, el segundo es una historia medieval y el tercero en la época bíblica.
De los tres, personalmente me quedo con “Un corazón sencillo”, en primer lugar porque aún recuerdo estar leyéndolo en un banco de espera de la Facultad de Humanidades mientras estudiaba Licenciatura en Letras y segundo porque me encantan los cuentos y novelas más importantes de ese movimiento que se llamó Realismo.
Cabe aclarar que el Realismo de Flaubert difiere en ciertos aspectos del de Balzac, por ejemplo, quien basaba muchas de sus novelas en el sta

Jules Massenet
b St. Etienne, May 12, 1842; d Paris, August 13, 1912
Jules Massenet was the most prominent and prolific composer of French opera in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with more than 30 operas to his credit. Born the twelfth child in a typical bourgeois provincial family, Jules first studied piano with his mother. His skills were sufficient to be accepted by the Paris Conservatoire, where in 1859, he won first prize for piano performance. He spent his early adulthood giving lessons, providing entertainment at local cafés and playing timpani in the orchestra pits of the major opera houses.
Massenet studied composition with Ambroise Thomas, a celebrated composer of an earlier generation whose most significant works were Mignon (1866) and Hamlet (1868). Jules won the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1863 (with Hector Berlioz’ encouragement) and met Charles Garnier (a former Prix winner who would design the Paris and Monte Carlo Opéras) as well as a newly ordained Franz Liszt while residing at the students’ Italian abode, the Villa Medici. Liszt introduced h

Heriodade, Cy Twombly, 1960
Herodiade takes its title from Mallarmé’s dramatic poem and includes direct quotations from the poem transcribed onto the canvas.
I. ANCIENT OVERTURE OF HÉRODIADE
The Nurse
(Incantation)
Abolished, and her frightful wing in the tears
Of the basin, abolished, that mirrors forth our fears,
The naked golds lashing the crimson space,
An Aurora—heraldic plumage—has chosen to embrace
Our cinerary tower of sacrifice,
Heavy tomb that a songbird has fled, lone caprice
Of a dawn vainly decked out in ebony plumes…
Ah, mansion this sad, fallen country assumes!
No splashing! the gloomy water, standing still,
No longer visited by snowy quill
Or fabled swan, reflects the bereaving
Of autumn extinguished by its own unleaving,
Of the swan when amidst the cold white tomb
Of its feathers, it buried its head, undone
By the pure diamond of a star, but one
Of long ago, which never even shone.
Crime! torture! ancient dawn! bright pyre!
Empurpled sky, complicit in the mire,
And stained-glass windows opening red on carnage.
The strange chamber
