Carlos literally shielded Charles from the champagne

Pulled him away from the champagne spray, arm around waist

What is this why are they like this

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say ... I just can't stay here every yesterday ... Like keep on acting out the same the way we act out...

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do ... I know I'll never really get inside of you ... To make your eyes catch fire the way they should...

Yesterday, I stood and stared wide-eyed in front of you ... And the face I saw looked back the way I wanted to ... But I just can't hold my tears away the way you do...

Elise believe I never wanted this ... Thought this time I'd keep all of my promises ... Thought you were the girl I always dreamed about ... But I let the dream go...

The House of Chigi is an Italian princely family of Sienese origin. Their ducal palace in the town of Ariccia, near Rome, was rebuilt in 1664-1672 by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Carlo Fontana.

The 17th-century baroque palazzo is now an art museum. The building is very well-preserved, featuring most of the original furnishings from 400+ years ago.

MWW Artwork of the Day (7/25/24) Michelangelo Buonarroti (Italian, 1475-1564) Creation of the Sun, Moon, and Plants (w/ ignudi)(1511) Cappella Sistina, Vatican

The three Creation pictures show scenes from the first chapter of Genesis, which relates that God created the Earth and all that is in it in six days, resting on the seventh day. On the Fourth Day, God puts the Sun and the Moon in place to govern the night and the day, the time and the seasons of the year. These three scenes, completed in the third stage of painting, are the most broadly conceived, the most broadly painted and the most dynamic of all the pictures. Of the first scene Vasari says "…Michelangelo depicted God dividing Light from Darkness, showing him in all his majesty as he rests self-sustained with arms outstretched, in a revelation of love and creative power."
