Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 665 Edelweiss

  After leaving Beaune, it didn’t take long for the train to enter Switzerland.

  The national flower of Switzerland is Alpine Edelweiss. It is a very famous flower in Europe because it only grows on high mountains.

In history, both Hannibal and Napoleon crossed the Alps to invade other countries. In addition, in the history of film there is a music film called The Sound of Music. A lively nun is not suitable for the life of a monastery, so the courtyard The grandma asked her to work as a family caregiver at Colonel von Trapp's house.

  Maria arrives at Von Trapp’s house and finds that he is a widower with seven children. The long-term naval life and the sadness of his dead wife make him treat his children as strict as a soldier. Soon Maria understood the reason why the caregivers left before. It turned out that the children did not get the care of their fathers and always used the caregivers to attract their father's attention. The colonel asked Maria to be as strict as him, but Maria did not obey, instead winning the children's friendship with her natural gentleness and kindness. While the colonel was away, she used curtains to make game costumes for each child, led them to the market, picnics on the beautiful Alps, and taught them to sing. The original detention and melancholy of the children were gradually replaced by music and laughter.

  Soon the colonel went home and brought back Uncle Max, who the children liked, and the baroness, girlfriend, whom the children didn’t like very much.

Colonel    was very dissatisfied with Maria's behavior, but when he heard the children sing for the Baroness, he was very touched, because Maria brought back music that was no longer available at home after his wife's death. Maria also prepared a puppet show with the children. The colonel was attracted by Maria's enthusiasm that can infect others and sang "Edelweiss" for them.

  Max persuaded the colonel to let his children out to the festival, but the colonel refused.

  A few days later, the colonel and the baroness held a grand ball together, and the children also had singing performances in the ball. In the ball, Maria demonstrates to the children the Austrian folk dance "Lindra".

  Unexpectedly, the colonel walked over to dance with Maria. At the end of the dance, they looked at each other, and Maria was moved by the colonel. These were all seen by the baroness, who persuaded Maria to return to the monastery that night. Maria feared that her feelings for the colonel would get deeper and deeper, so she left quietly.

  After Maria was gone, the baroness tried her best to please the children to no avail, and even privately wanted to send the children to the boarding college. When the children learned that the colonel was going to marry the baroness, they were even more sad. They went to the monastery to find Maria but failed to see her. Maria confessed her love to the colonel and her loss of life to Dean Abis. Dean Abis told her to have bones and courage to find her true love even if she climbed over every mountain in the world. So Maria returned to von Trapp's house. After Maria came back, the Baroness found that she could not restore the relationship between her and the colonel. She voluntarily withdrew from the marriage contract. The colonel and Maria complained to each other, and soon they got married.

  However, the good times did not last long. Just as Maria and the colonel were on their honeymoon, World War II broke out and soon Germany annexed Austria. At this time, Max secretly took the children to participate in the selection of the music festival and passed. After the patriotic colonel hurried back, not only did he disregard the regulations and tore down the flag from his home, but he also resisted the requirements of Germany for his entry.

Colonel    wanted to take the family to escape, but was discovered by the spy butler halfway through, so he was almost detained, but he temporarily changed his mind to participate in the music festival with the children in order to find a chance to escape. Finally, with the help of Max and the nuns, the colonel and his family climbed the Alps to escape.

  Only those who dare to challenge the limits of mankind can pick edelweiss. It is small and white, pure and beautiful. It only loves warriors.

  On the battlefield of World War II, you can often see this kind of flower pinned to the collar of German soldiers. It will accompany the person who picked it to sleep.

  Not every German is **, but also Beethoven and Goethe; ** not everybody is a war criminal, there are also people like Schindler.

  The colonel in the sound of music escaped the war not because he was afraid, but because he felt that it was injustice. However, he did not get dazzled by his sensibility and did the stupid thing of hitting a rock with a pebble.

Everyone has a good side and a bad side. There were musicians from Vienna in the second-class car. The girls who got on the train in Kotdel were singing happily in their music. Becoming as happy as the third-class cabin of the Titanic, as if they had no sense of crisis at all, but it was this carefreeness that Pomona liked.

  The young master Draco Malfoy was also carefree. He didn’t have to worry about money like Ron Weasley, nor did he have parents like Harry Potter. He even had a godfather.

   But as time passed, he gradually grew up and became sad. Pomona hoped that he would never grow up, just like Peter Pan living on Never Island.

  However, this was Pomona’s wish after all. Narcissa could not stop her aging. She always died in front of Draco. Besides, she could not do it if Cici bury her son. She would rather die instead of her son.

  Plato thought he knew love very well, and his stepmother was always very difficult, especially when the man had seven children, which meant that he had loved her very much. The stepmother not only had to endure another woman in her husband’s heart, but also had to face seven children who couldn’t really accept her as her own mother.

  In the face of this realistic problem, even if the Baroness loves the colonel, she has to give in. Perhaps only a naive little fool like Maria is suitable for such a family.

  Plato is very opposed to reducing this kind of love to seeking physical pleasure.

  The kind of love that pursues physical happiness, one of them, especially the active one, he will try to let the passive one be controlled by him. It is to let the other party be in a state of being very weak, both intellectually and physically, and let him control, because only in this way can he enjoy the physical pleasure to the greatest extent.

  If the other party is more independent, or more powerful, or more self-disciplined, it may not be so easy for you to get physical pleasure from him.

Severus has a strong desire to control. He was in a state of doing whatever he wanted during his seclusion, and she was particularly indulging in him. She was afraid that it was a dream. He was still dead after waking up, and his body was in the grave. The middle gradually decayed and finally turned into bones.

   Plato is right on this point.

  Women are easier to control than men. It is much easier to find a reliable person to rely on. Even when Scarlett relies on Brad, a weak woman like Melanie relies on Scarlett.

   Scarlett returned to Terra so desperately that she wanted to return to that carefree life, but what was waiting for her was everyone who had to rely on her.

  It’s too tiring to be an independent woman. Queen Victoria is a widow of Prince Albert. She can still regard him as a sustenance to her soul. Under the weight of so many national affairs, **** is not a problem.

  The other widow, Cixi, is more difficult to understand. She should not love Emperor Xianfeng so much. If she really loves him, she will not be jealous of other concubines. She was cruel to Concubine Zhen, perhaps because Concubine Zhen got something she couldn't get-Emperor Guangxu's love.

When a woman becomes jealous, she will turn from a small fool to a terrible snake. Lu Pheasant to Madam Qi, Wu Zetian to the Queen, Cixi to the concubine Zhen, and the **** in the story of Sleeping Beauty to the princess and Hera to Zeus. What people do, this crazy jealousy is irrational, but Plato tries to understand love with reason.

  Pomona didn’t like Plato. He didn’t read what he wrote, but Severus had read it. After all, he is now a representative figure of Platonic love and knight’s love.

Socrates talked about a myth in the Symposium. On the day the **** Aphrodite was born, many gods came to celebrate and drank so drunk. One of them was drunk. She coveted the beauty of the gods. Mated with him without his knowledge, and ended up pregnant with a child, Eros.

  Eros was born with both father and mother characteristics. His father is omnipotent, representing complete self-sufficiency, while his mother is a poor god, representing nothing, always pursuing and not getting.

  So Eros changed this role. He was like his father, and he got whatever he wanted. On the other hand, he was like his mother, and lost these things again, with nothing.

  In short, after he lacks, he pursues, then possesses, then loses, pursues again, possesses, and loses again. It is such a circular pattern.

   Ancient Greek philosophers believed that even the goddess of love must covet money. Money seems to be omnipotent, but money cannot prevent Rome from conquering Greece.

The same money can’t stop the **** of death. People can accept another person’s surrender, but he will not. When the **** of death’s cloak swept across the Greek city-states, a quarter of the Athenians died in the plague, and all the tragedies were survived by a disaster. In his eyes, he recorded all this. This man was Thucydides, and the chronicle of human plagues was opened.

  According to Thucydides’ "Peloponnesian War" records, this plague first appeared on the border between Egypt and Ethiopia, and from here spread to Egypt and Libya, and then spread to the eastern Mediterranean coastal countries until the Greek peninsula.

  Athens is located in the northern Mediterranean, with a long Aegean coastline and many excellent harbors. The most famous is the port of Piraeus near Athens. Due to the geographical location of Athens, it has become an important transportation hub linking Asia, Africa and Europe.

After the Battle of Salamis, the Greek coalition forces defeated the Persian Empire and completely drove the Persians out of the Greek territory. From then on, the Persian Empire was no longer capable of large-scale expeditions to the Greek peninsula. However, the victory of the Hippo War split the Greek alliance. The Delian League, headed by the Athenians, has a strong maritime power. They dominate the Aegean Sea with warships; the Peloponnesian League, led by the Spartans, is known for its powerful army, and they dominate the Greek peninsula with shields and spears. .

  In order to resist the invasion of the Spartans on land, Athens adopted the strategy of retreating on land and offensive by sea. All the people living in the Attica Peninsula were moved to the city of Athens. As long as there is a gap, they live there, because they moved into the city, the space is not enough, some openly slept in the temple, and some even built shelters in the cursed land.

A place has its own carrying capacity. Water scarcity and groundwater pollution will make the people living in it unable to survive. Rich people like Socrates and Plato cannot understand the life of the lower class. After all, in ancient Greece, Reading is a power that rich people can only enjoy.

"Meeting the drink chapter is very philosophical at first glance. The reason why coercion is successful is that the strong deprived the weak of the right of personal choice, leaving the weak with nowhere to go. Only obedience can avoid greater suffering. Temptation is a more civilized practice, but, If the seduced goddess of love is not fooled, then the drunk and beautiful goddess of wealth can only continue to lie on the ground and dream. Modern democracy is like this. The common people follow the route planned by the rulers under the temptation of the rulers. It is useful, but when it is related to life safety, people’s attention is freed from temptation, just like the donkey that is attracted by carrots and keeps spinning the millstone. When he finds that the wolf is coming, he ignores the carrot. It howled and broke free from the reins that bound itself, and when it left the mill, the magic of money was gone."

   "Since you don't like ancient Greek philosophers, why come to Italy?" Pomona asked inexplicably.

   "I just want to come to Venice." He said puzzledly, "Didn't you think about carnival?"

   "I didn't say I thought about carnival, I just want a mask!" Pomona glared at him.

  He shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and continued to eat lunch. It seemed that he was here anyway, and it didn’t matter if he participated in the carnival.

   "We are in such a hurry to go, really just to catch the carnival?" She asked distrustfully.

"When I was in Paris, I asked you, if I want to go to Rome, I can change cars. What else can I do besides going to Venice?" He cut a piece of sausage and put it in his mouth. The food looks exactly the same as Ron. "I heard because Global warming is about to sink in Venice. I want to see it before it sinks."

  "Do you want to go to Venice just because it is sinking?" She repeated in disbelief.

   "You also watched the movie the day after tomorrow. No one knows what will happen the day after tomorrow. The plan can't keep up with the changes. Of course, you have to be as early as possible."

  Pomona looked at him speechlessly.

   "What's the matter?" He touched the ugly face as if he suspected that something was on his face.

  A civilized and moral person can solve problems without violence.

  But sometimes, the old badger of Hefpaff still wants to use violence to beat the old bat of Slytherin.

  She seemed to have a grudge against spaghetti, she used a fork to break it up, and as for the small national flag, she used her magic wand to hide it.
