Harry Potter Morning Light

In 1839 Wagner came to Paris.

Paris was one of the centers of European culture at that time. Wagner had admired this land for a long time and hoped to display his artistic talents here.

Wagner did not get the opportunity to perform his own works, and could only survive by copying scores. The three years in Paris were the poorest period in Wagner's life. He was once unable to go out because of holes in the soles of his shoes and he could not afford new ones. He couldn't afford even the cheapest razor and was often hungry. In his autobiography "My Life", Wagner once wrote such a memory: "One day, I came to the tip of the poor. Because I was really penniless, I ran out of the house very early and walked all the way to Paris. .Because I had no money at all to buy a ticket and ride. I was looking forward to it, even if I could get five francs. So I wandered the streets of Paris all day until evening. At last my mission was in vain, and I had to follow That's it, walk back to Myrton."

"Paris, the capital of flowers, is a city full of talents, but maybe it's because there are too many flowers like Wagner, which makes people feel dazzled, so that they don't know how to choose." A small gazebo opposite Linderhof Palace In it, the vampire Giovanni said as if telling a story, "In the 17th century, Italian opera was popular all over Europe, and composers from various countries developed their own operas to fight against Italian opera and the court nobles' pursuit of fashionable vulgar tastes. Louis Fourteen approved the use of funds from the French government to build the first opera house in France, the Royal Opera House, but it was burned down in 1763. In 1860, the French Ministry of Art finally decided to rebuild the Paris Opera House. I participated in the election, but the winning bid It's Charles Garnier, and there are a lot of people who don't like it. Like the Louvre Pyramid and the Eiffel Tower, there are people who like it a lot. You can never please everyone, so I didn't do public work after the Paris Opera. Architecture, turned to interior designer. Roque style is very gorgeous, but I think it is too cumbersome and expensive, but Ludwig likes it. Sometimes you have to admit that the royal family and nobles are really vulgar of."

"Is that why you tell the King of Bavaria that you are vulgar?" Pomona asked with a smile on her lips.

"Of course not. No matter how naive and willful he is, he is still a king." Giovanni said with a smile, "When he came to the throne at the age of 18 and had power in his hands, the first state affairs he did was to invite Wagner to Munich and send himself to the suburbs. The villa for him to use. With power and money, he became Wagner's patron. He paid off all debts for Wagner and promised to pay all his expenses, in order to let Wagner' enjoy himself in the beautiful and pure artistic sky. Stretching the wings of his genius', he also founded the Bayreuth Theater, dedicated to performing Wagner's works, Wagner put German legends and fairy tales on the stage to his heart's content, and he used the eternal struggle between good and evil to attract audiences .”

"Isn't he in love with you?" asked Pomona.

"No, it's not me." Giovanni said calmly, "I've always been a theatergoer. If I go too deep into the emotional life of human beings, from a theatergoer to a theatergoer, I don't think I can be so clear-headed." At this age, I am just one of many friends of the royal family, sometimes in France, sometimes in Germany, like a migratory bird, I will go there when everyone who knows me is almost gone."

"Then who is he really in love with?" she went on to ask.

"If you want to do business, today's occasion is a private party, you can't do it, it's better to be in a social place like the opera house." Giovanni said, "At that time, everyone was well-dressed and looked like a gentleman. .”

She was very confused, what does this mean?

"Young people often confuse worship with love, my dear," said the vampire. "A responsible adult shouldn't let him be so confused. Wagner died in Venice at the end. He once wanted to resist, but found that he couldn't." A city that resists, he wants to be a decent human being, not an 'animal in a cave'."

"Ludwig let him go?" Severus asked.

"Otherwise, what else can we do? Wagner was born to be profligate. Before he met Ludwig, he owed 10,000 francs in debt. He was forced to hide from XZ and avoid creditors like those masked people. It was Ludwig who did it for him. The debt was paid and he was given the perfect environment to create, Ludwig was arguably Wagner's saviour, but when he confessed to Wagner, I'm glad Wagner was honest enough to reject him, Wagner knew it well May lose the king's support, he will become poor again, he still refused. When Ludwig was a child, he went with his father to the king's villa in Berchtesgaden, in the garden of the villa He was almost attacked by a black goblin in 1999, and I saved him, and since then he has vehemently refused to visit Berchtesgaden. He is a coward, and he had exhausted all his courage when I wanted to confess to Wagner, Wagner used the Bechstein piano for many performances, and I thought that Ludwig would not use that piano after the rejection, but I didn't expect it to still be there."

History and imitation will make a generation and a country very similar. In addition to Norse mythology, Germany also has Grimm's fairy tales, Beethoven and Kant.

German culture has had a profound impact on the world since the 19th century, and beside the blue alpine lake, in the enchanting Bavarian forest, stands a beautiful white castle that is both real and illusory.

Ludwig II was originally the prince of flowers in fairy tales, but later he had to become the king of the country of flowers.

He was so self-willed that he used up all the money in the treasury, but the Germans didn't hate him as much as they hated Cixi.

He did not use the power of the king to force anyone. Even if he is a king in front of Venus, he is still the same as ordinary people. What's more, the castle he designed is really beautiful. The current Neuschwanstein Castle is still a cash cow, attracting people every year. Many tourists visit, but he himself has not lived in it for a day.

"Have you met Louis XV?" Severus asked. "What was he like?"

"In the taverns in Paris and other places, there are always people who promote Rousseau's ideas. The public places that the working class can go to are only places like brothels other than taverns. Rousseau believes that the best way to gain authority is to gain authority. Love, this is a beautiful motto, but it will be laughed at at court. A regime based on the love of the people is undoubtedly great, but it is very unstable and conditional. Louis XIV and XV are very popular. favorite king, even if he is extravagant."

"I know this." She said smartly, "That's an oriental adage, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very extravagant and aggressive, but the Chinese still worship him. Let me think about it. Lying on the lap of a beautiful woman, men love this kind of life."

"That's it, but this kind of wanton life is not long-lasting. Louis XVI is not as popular as Louis XIV..."

"The devil effect, the opposite of the halo effect." Severus said, "Louis XIV and XV took away all the halos, coupled with Rousseau's thoughts, Louis XVI lost popular support."

"He's right again, isn't he?" Gianluca said sarcastically, "A regime based on people's love is unstable, just like the current democratic system in the West."

"Rousseau is talking about the monarchy." Vampire Giovanni said, "Marx said that the economic base determines the superstructure, but as I said before, the buildings you design do not satisfy everyone. If you change the drawings according to what others think, It will eventually become vulgar and nondescript. In the 1990s, there was a kind of eclecticism. Architects arbitrarily imitated various architectural styles in history, or freely combined various architectural forms. They did not pay attention to fixed French styles, but only pure formal beauty. The Paris Opera House is one of them.”

"Merlin's beard," Pomona murmured.

"The castle designed by Ludwig refused to compromise. The design of Neuschwanstein Castle was inspired by Wagner's famous opera "The Swan Knight". He was rejected, but he admitted that he didn't like women, so he lifted the relationship with Sofia. The marriage contract, he gave her the freedom to find her own happiness, I know a lot of people like Sissi, but she is a terrible woman, although she was cute at first."

"She's using her sister for power?" Pomona asked.

"Her opponent, Empress Dowager Sophie is not a simple woman, and she is not easily confused like Franz." Giovanni said with a smile, "Women are always sober when they look at women."

"Her son committed suicide." Severus said in a strange voice. "If she was a tolerant mother, no matter what happened, he would cry in her arms."

"Power turned her into a monster. Although Franz was very diligent, his intelligence was not high. He often made mistakes in complex international politics. However, Princess Sissi did not assist him. Instead, she competed with the empress dowager for power."

"Do you know what the decapitated Mary did wrong?" Severus asked Pomona suddenly.

"She did not persuade Louis XVI to stay in Paris and establish a constitutional monarchy like Theodora." She said without hesitation.

"Good girl." Severus kissed her proudly, and then said proudly, "I'm going back to Venice, are you going?"

"I want to stay here," said the vampire when the other two young humans stood up, and handed Severus a gorgeous business card. "If you want to find me, you can contact me as above."

"You designed this business card?" Pomona said with great interest.

There is no high-ranking title on the business card, only the phone number and address, but this business card has a sense of design, like some kind of collectible.

"In Venice, there are also artists who specialize in designing business cards. They have been in this business for hundreds of years." The vampire said, "If you want them to remember themselves and prevent them from throwing them away after reading them, you'd better design a good business card."

"Aren't you rich?" Alessandro looked at Gianluca in disgust.

"I don't like socializing," said the nerd dryly.

Severus looked at the vampire's business card and put it in his jacket pocket.

Then, holding his beautiful wife on his arm, he led the two young men back to the small and delicate palace like a music box.

I think Linderhof Palace is like an exquisitely designed music box. When the little ballet dancers rise up, the beautiful music starts to sound. The 20-year-old beautiful boy and the 40-year-old down-and-out adult man have something to stick to each other. In 1883, Wagner died in Venice due to a heart attack and was buried in Bayreuth. He finally died in Venice.

Wagner participated in the guerrillas and court balls. He was so downcast that he didn’t even have shoes, and he also lived in a gorgeous palace. Only in this ups and downs life can he write songs with the same ups and downs
