tfw you're trying really hard not to break character during all the rapturous applause after your big, tragic, heart-wrenching aria but the audience loves you too damn much:

山中一夜雨，树杪百重泉。

明朝步春去，处处水潺湲。

野芳发而幽香，佳木秀而繁阴。

醉翁之意不在酒，在乎山水之间也。

花间一壶酒，独酌无相亲。

举杯邀明月，对影成三人。

月既不解饮，影徒随我身。

暂伴月将影，行乐须及春。

我歌月徘徊，我舞影零乱。

醒时相交欢，醉后各分散。

永结无情游，相期邈云汉。

天若不爱酒，酒星不在天。

地若不爱酒，地应无酒泉。

天地既爱酒，爱酒不愧天。

已闻清比圣，复道浊如贤。

贤圣既已饮，何必求神仙。

三杯通大道，一斗合自然。

但得酒中趣，勿为醒者传。

三月咸阳城，千花昼如锦。

谁能春独愁，对此径须饮。

穷通与修短，造化夙所禀。

一樽齐死生，万事固难审。

醉后失天地，兀然就孤枕。

不知有吾身，此乐最为甚。

穷愁千万端，美酒三百杯。

愁多酒虽少，酒倾愁不来。

所以知酒圣，酒酣心自开。

辞粟卧首阳，屡空饥颜回。

当代不乐饮，虚名安用哉。

蟹螯即金液，糟丘是蓬莱。

且须饮美酒，乘月醉高台。

江南

江南可采莲，

莲叶何田田！

鱼戏莲叶间。

鱼戏莲叶东，

鱼戏莲叶西，

鱼戏莲叶南，

鱼戏莲叶北。

...by turning to art it is possible to show how the world we experience is not simply given but organised in ways we often fail to see.

What is our responsibility and our genuine aspiration?

What can we talk about when there are kids dying in war a couple of hundred miles.

What can we talk about when such things have been happening more miles away but they did not reach us for concern.

Are we just witnesses of human suffering or supporters of it by our indifference and inability to say or do anything beyond self gratifying charity contributions?

Blessed invention, extend your forgiveness!

From now on this shall be that form

Of love which people call "L'amour à trois".

I must go now.

"Let her believe I'm free and far away... on a new path of redemption!...

She will wait for my return... And the days will pass, and I, and I will not return."

When thought becomes feeling, feeling thought . . . When the mind bows low before beauty . . . When nature perceives the ecstatic moment . . . When genius leaves contemplation for one moment of reality . . . Then Eros is in the word
