Frances I of France (reign 1515-1547) was a great patron of the arts, best known
for bringing the goldsmith and sculptor Benevenuto Cellini to work for him.
The most well known of these works is a gold salt cellar that Cellini describes
in his autobiography which is best known for being full of fiction except for his
descriptions of the creations of his major works. This is how Cellini describes his work:-“… it was oval in form, standing about two-thirds of a cubit (12 inches)
wrought in solid gold, and worked entirely from the chisel. …it represented
Sea and Earth, seated, with their legs interlaced … The Sea carried a trident
in his right hand, and in his left I put a ship of delicate workmanship to hold the salt.
Below him were his four sea-horses, fashioned like our horses, from the head to the
front hoofs; all the rest of their body, from the middle backwards, resembled a fish,
and the tails of these creatures were agreeably interwoven. Above this group the Sea
sat throned in an attitude of pride and dignity; around him were many kinds of fishes
and other creatures of the ocean. The water was represented by waves, and enamelled
in the appropriate colour”.[img]https://i.imgur.com/Mp4v3ue.jpg?1[/img]
“I had portrayed Earth under the form of a very handsome woman, holding her
horn of plenty, entirely nude like the male figure; in her left hand I placed a little temple of
Ionic architecture, most delicately wrought which was meant to contain the pepper.
Beneath her were the handsomest living creatures which the earth produces; and the
rocks were partly enamelled, partly left in gold.The whole piece reposed on a base of ebony, properly proportioned, but with a projecting
cornice, upon which I introduced four golden figures in rather more than half-relief.
They represented Night, Day, Twilight and Dawn.”[img]https://i.imgur.com/OlSI00T.jpg?1[/img]
“When I exhibited this piece to His Majesty he uttered a loud cry of astonishment
and could not satiate his eyes with gazing at it. Then he bade me take it back to my house,
saying he would tell me at the proper time what I should have to do with it. So I carried it
home, and sent at once to invite several of my best friends; we dined gaily together, placing
the salt-cellar in the middle of the table, and thus we were the first to use it.”(This last sentence should be taken with a pinch of salt)

There is a girl called Day Drinker
Who is a bit of a thinker
She'll argue all day
And never give way
So Plato would call her a Stinker[img]https://i.imgur.com/23vKiFK.jpg?1[/img]

Maria Muldaur Bessie's Advice
Blue Girls
John Crowe RansomeTwirling your blue skirts, travelling the sward
Under the towers of your seminary,
Go listen to your teachers old and contrary
Without believing a word.Tie the white fillets then about your hair
And think no more of what will come to pass
Than bluebirds that go walking on the grass
And chattering on the air.Practice your beauty, blue girls, before it fail;
And I will cry with my loud lips and publish
Beauty which all our power shall never establish,
It is so frail.For I could tell you a story which is true;
I know a woman with a terrible tongue,
Blear eyes fallen from blue,
All her perfections tarnished yet it is not long
Since she was lovelier than any of you.Marlena Shaw Your Mind is on Vacation

… the distance between Baudelaire-Verhaeren-Nietzsche, and Graeco-Roman
classical literature, Dante and so on and Chekhov is too great … how about Keats ..

which is better produced than this cover
and the vocals much better but give
Motorhead credit for trying – it was
probably better at their live showshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1TNlBe8lmk
