Harry Potter’s Morning Light
Chapter 735: "Plague Carnival"
Chapter 735 "Plague Carnival"
For the locals in Venice, Carnival is not actually the most important festival, but the Savior’s Day on the third weekend of July and the Gondola on the first Sunday of September.
After the plague of 1630, people built the Church of Our Lady of Ankang. In 1576, the Black Death ravaged Venice and claimed 50,000 lives. On behalf of the people, the governor asked God to end the plague and promised to build a cathedral later, which is now the Church of the Savior on Judeka Island.
At that time, Venice still had room to spare. It took only 18 years to build a church on the island of Giucada on the same scale as the Church of Our Lady of Ankang. It took more than 50 years for the Church of Our Lady of Ankang until the designer Baldasaray. ·Longna completed only after his old age.
From the age of thirty-three to his eighties, a man spends the golden time of his life with the Church of Our Lady of Ankang. Young people in their twenties are young and energetic, but they are frizzy and tend to be impulsive.
When he was in his thirties, all aspects were becoming mature. It was the best time for psychology and physiology. Isn’t it a pity that Baldazare Longgna doesn’t spend his energy with a woman who is alive at this time, and is accompanied by a cold building? ?
This is the reason why the Church of Our Lady of Ankang is the most photogenic church in Europe. It condenses a man's life's work, and both men and women find it graceful and luxurious.
In the eyes of American writer Henry James, the Church of Our Lady of Ankang is like a lady standing by the door of a salon. Her dome and scroll decoration, fan-shaped buttresses and statues together form a gorgeous crown. The wide steps that line up to the ground are like the drag of a robe.
But Pomona feels that this analogy is not accurate at all. The Republic of Venice was once hailed as the queen of the Adriatic Sea. Whoever sees a lady of a salon standing in front of the salon with a crown.
Today’s breakfast was held on the cloak worn by the queen in the coronation ceremony.
There is no soul if you don’t have a picnic in Venice. The police don’t allow a picnic. However, tourists have to use their creativity to "picnic" and try frantically between legal and illegal. "I like your picture that is so angry but can't The appearance of arresting me".
On the day when the Church of the Savior was built, the governor walked from the driftwood jetty across the temporary pontoon to the Church of the Savior for pilgrimage. This four-hundred-year tradition continues to this day. Every time the Savior’s Day, the residents of Judeka Island spontaneously set up an annual temporary pontoon bridge, named "Savior Bridge". The Savior once performed miracles. Walking on the water, humans don't have that power, but they can reproduce it in this way.
At 10 am on Saturday morning, the religious activities of the Savior’s Day began with the "Holy Mass of the Church Counselors and the clergy of the nine dioceses" and continued in the afternoon. There were two important moments for religious activities on this day, namely at 7:30 pm. After the official opening of the "Savior Bridge" and the fireworks display at 12 o'clock in the morning, on both sides of the pontoon bridge at night, the waterways of the Grand Canal in Venice are full of people coming here in their own boats. Good wine and food. The whole of Venice is lit up on the water, decorated with branches and colorful balloons. Boats gather in the waters of San Marco and the Giudecca Canal. Thousands of gondola boats gather together, each with ten or two hanging on it. Ten, or even thirty colored lights. With music everywhere, men and women dressed in cool attire carefully prepared tables on the boat, filled with traditional Venetian dishes for dinner. Everyone ate, drank, danced, told jokes, and people dressed in uniforms led the dance, singing incessantly.
The panic of the epidemic has brought Venice to a standstill, but it has slowed down the pace of life in the entire city. In the words of the Venetian: "It's rare to take a breath. Wouldn't it be a pity not to enjoy it?"
This rhythm of life in Venice was realized after experiencing a catastrophe. "Practicing in time" does not necessarily mean spending tomorrow and the day after tomorrow's money and money today. It can also be a combination of the usual savings and negative emotions. Splurge out, like a little couple who wins a newly-married couple, staying up all night.
There is a custom of night vigil in northern China, as well as the Redeemer Festival in Venice. The pontoon will be used by civilians after the fireworks are over at 12:30. People who are older and less energetic go home to sleep, and those who are young or energetic leave Judeka Island. Rowing the boat to Lido Island to continue the all-night party, waiting to see the sunrise there.
Summer nights are also cool. The men’s tea replenishes their energy in public uniforms, traditional black-and-white clothing, and straw hats with red hoops on their heads. The lady wore a loose black shirt and a white apron decorated with red ribbons, and a long-sleeved black or blue velvet jacket over the shirt. There was a big flower on her head. No one wanted to swim in the sea.
Gondolas are specially designed to kill tourists. The locals row a boat called "Traghetti", which is almost exactly the same as a gondola, except that there are not so many decorations. It is more cost-effective to rent a day for 40 Euros, but the premise is that tourists You should be able to row by yourself and be familiar with the tides and intricate waterways of Venice.
Knowledge is power, knowledge is power, and knowledge is money.
Sapientiaedificavitsibidomum.
Those who can join the Brotherhood are not religious fanatics with well-developed limbs and no brains. The worship of sacred knowledge is the foundation of the Freemasonry ideology.
If you can’t accept goddess worship, it’s not enough. Being a "righteous person" should not bully the weak. Similarly, the "weak person" regards "the strong cannot bully the weak" as a creed and upholds the innocence theory of the weak. Especially women, it is understandable to enjoy the taste of being worshiped, but they cannot be headstrong, otherwise they will be pushed off the altar.
A man is afraid of a woman because she looks down on him, and a woman is afraid of a man because he is afraid that he will kill her, so she will be a smart girl if she doesn't want to die.
Among those who pursue personal enjoyment and respect, luxury inevitably arises, and soon the disaster caused by society will develop to the extreme.
Can a luxurious life really gain the respect of others? Especially when the common people don’t even have money to eat and maintain a basic life?
The nobles during the French Revolution did not expect this. They still pursued the ultimate beauty of Rococo. The silk-faced shoes would indeed stain the beautiful artwork when they stepped on the mud road, but at that time they should be more worried about the same kind in ragged clothes. , They want to rob and kill, do you have the ability to protect yourself?
It is a virtue to be vigilant and temperate in the carnival.
When other Death Eaters were free to use the Killing Curse to carry out a free carnival of killing, Severus and Lucius Malfoy did not do that. They looked like good people.
But they are so close to the real good people.
Cunning is the trait of Slytherin, and it is their method to avoid the heavy and light.
No wonder he would think of Venice, a city full of profiteers.
If you want to find a place to build a vault, of course it is a solid piece of land. A city built in the mud like the main island is not a good choice. Tocello Island is very qualified. Those old houses can be renovated to become Baroque architecture, but the anti-theft device in the underground vault is about to use your brains. Concrete is not always safe.
When a store is irreplaceable, he will be proud and set a variety of harsh conditions, but when someone competes, he has to put down his body and meet the needs of customers.
The best example is when the Beiyang Navy bought warships. Two competing demons are better than an angel. Because of the competition between Britain and Germany, the warships bought by Manchuria are world-class.
Where is the money not put, why must it be put in the Alps?
On the Rowing Day in September, the crew wore their old clothes and raced in the canal.
After the opening parade, there are youth competitions, then women, and men at the end. The finale is often the last. Women row a canoe, and men row a two-person rowing. Only when two people work together can they produce greater strength. If they do their own things, then two men may not even be able to beat a woman.
It's very embarrassing to lose to a girl, but instead of bullying her, boys learn lessons and find reasons. Isn’t it a good way to make progress?
If a man is dumped by his first love, he strives to become famous, and then finds a way to break up the woman's family and put her in misfortune. Turning his head, he asks the girl "Have you seen it? Do you regret it?", girl Will smile and say "No, sir, I'm so glad I did that back then."
After the angels fall, they are also bright. The villain who pretends to be good will not lose his true color no matter how he pretends to be.
The appearance is often dissatisfied with the fact itself, and the world is often easily deceived by the surface decoration.
There are some people, like actors wearing brightly colored costumes on the stage, awkwardly performing a stage play of one person, and then quietly retreats silently after appearing for a while. This is a story of a fool, full of comical and commotion, but Pointless.
This is Lockhart in her eyes, the "warrior" with the best smile by Wizarding Magazine.
Only in front of Severus, she would care about her appearance. She always looked down on women whose appearance attracted men. She thought she was a bit wise, but he made her feel less confident.
Her insight is not even clever.
So people like her are really not suitable to be "leaders".
Perhaps the fountain of the brother of the Ministry of Magic was correct. A wizard held a wand high and pointed it towards the sky. Surrounded by him were a beautiful witch, a horseman, a little fairy and a house elf.
She is suitable to be a follower. After all, it is a lot easier to follow orders. It is so happy that she can enjoy a safe and comfortable life without using her own brains.
