„Solche hergelauf’ne Laffen
Die nur nach den Weibern gaffen,
Mag ich vor den Teufel nicht.“

—Osmin in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera „Die Entführung aus dem Serail“

(Such popinjays sprung up from nowhere, who do nothing but ogle women, I can't put up with them for the devil.)

🎨 Azija. Mihael Stroj, 1871

«Con noi nacque quella face che ci piace e ci consola;
e potrà la morte sola far che cangi affetto il cor.»

– from Fiordiligi’s aria «Come scoglio» in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s opera Così fan tutte

(In us was born that light that pleases and consoles us; And death alone will be able to make the heart change affection.)

🎨 Sappho. Auguste Charles Mengin, 1877
