The Wild
Venus and Adonis
Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) (Italian, about 1487 - 1576)
Music pairing: Sergei Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18: I. Moderato
Tell it to the watchful sun -
Among millions of brilliant stars,
Why take away the one around I spun?
Why send my heart down the couloirs?
The beast named Fate pulls you away;
Your eyes impatience speak with fervor;
Unparalleled beauty can’t make you stay -
All I can beckon is the observer.
Tonight there’s emptiness in my home,
A bed much larger than before.
Knowing there's no end to my sorrow,
I bend in prayers and implore.
