The Danish writer and poet Hans Christian Andersen travelled to Spain in 1862. Shortly after returning, he published a spirited travel book, In Spain, which also includes a number of quasi-sensual poems.
'The Lotus Flower' [Lotusblomsten] is one of these poems that show a lesser known side of the poet.
The video includes subtitles in Danish, English and Spanish.

"Angel of Light" is a hymn from the Romantic era, composed by C.E.F. Weyse in 1837, and familiar to any Dane of almost any age.
Nevertheless, in this modern setting by contemporary composer Poul Udbye Pock-Steen the original light-spirited melody is led on a musical excursion towards the darker hidden sides of the mind ..... :)

The Tale of the Cigar by Hans Christian Andersen
In 1862, during a visit to Tangier, Hans Christian Andersen found himself enjoying a warm autumn evening on a terrace, savoring a fine #Cuban cigar.
As the grey-blue smoke curled into the gentle night air, a miniature fairy tale revealed itself—one that, when seen through the right lens, also reads as a quiet political statement against slavery.

Andersen would certainly have been fascinated by the possibilities of #AI and #art
