Narcissus (1728) by François Le Moyne

Originally, this was an 18th century print of John Gay, who wrote the immensely popular ballad opera known as The Beggar’s Opera in 1728. That being said, I saw “Mr. Gay” and thought of this scene:

[virgoantendencies7]

“ABRACADABRA, an Inſscription, antiently uſed as a Charm or Spell, for the curing of ſeveral Diſeaſes, and driving out Devils. See CHARM, PHYLACTERY, &c.

The Author of this piece of Superſtition, who is ſaid to have lived under the Emperor Adrian, form’d the Name from that of the Deity he adored, Abraſax, or Abraxas; whom he made God-paramount; having ſeveral petty Divinities under him, and particularly ſeven Angels who preſided over the ſeven Heavens; and to whom he attributed 365 Virtues or Powers, the Number of Days in the Year; with other idle Reveries.

This ΑΒΡΑΞΑΣ S. Jerom will have to be the ſame God whom the Perſians and other Heathens worſhip’d under the Name Mitra; which is warranted by ſome antient Grave-ſtones. ‘Tis added, that moſt of the Fathers aſcribe the Fable of the God Αβρασάξ, to Baſilides and his Followers, a Branch of Gnoſtics. See BASILIDIANS.

The Gnoſtics, ‘tis known, ſuppoſed wonderful Virtues in Numbers; and accordingly, this ſame Abraxas, or rather Abraſax, was thus denominated, as including or comprehending the Power of Virtue of 365 dependent Intelligences: which Number is expreſs’d by the Greek Letters of the Word; it being the Cuſtom of the Greeks to expreſs their Numbers by the Letters of their Alphabet: The Value of thoſe in the preſent Word are thus;

Α - I.

Β - 2.

Ρ - I00.

Α - I.

Ξ - 60.

Α - I.

Σ - 200.

which added together make the Number 365.

Abracadabra still continues in uſe and eſteem among ſome ſuperſtitious People, who pretend to do Wonders hereby in the Cure of Agues and Fevers. The manner of preparing this extraordinary Medicine, they have been at Pains to deſcribe in the following Verſes.

Inſcribas chartæ quod dicitur Abracadabra

Sæpius & ſubter repetas, mirabile dictu;

Donec in anguſtum redigatur littera conum.

That is, ‘The Word is first to be wrote at length, Abracadabra; then, under that Abracadabr; and in the third Line Abracadab, &c.”

Lyrics:

Look at me now

Said I wouldn't do it, but I hunted you down

Know you had a girl, but it didn't work out

Know you bought a house, but you had to move out and

I'm not proud

Guess I'm just scared of you shooting it down

You can just talk, and I'll stare at your mouth

It could be bad, but I wanna find out

And I wake up

In the middle of the night

With the light on

And I feel like I could die

'Cause you're not here

And it don't feel right

'Cause you're not here

God, I'm actually invested

Haven't even met him

Watch this be the wrong thing

Classic

God, I'm jumping in the deep end

It's more fun to swim in

Heard the risk is drownin', but I'm gonna take it

I'm gonna take it

Isn't it fun?

Thinking I'm right when I'm probably wrong

Holding my breath like I met someone

Knowing damn well that I haven't been touched by you

In my head

You're in the car and

You're coming to me and

You get to my door and

You can't even speak but

I think that it's sweet

Yeah, I think that you're sweet

And I wake up

In the middle of the night

With the light on

And you're not here

God, I'm actually invested

Haven't even met him

Watch this be the wrong thing

Classic

God, I'm jumping in the deep end

It's more fun to swim in

Heard the risk is drownin', but I'm gonna take it

I'm gonna bend 'til I break and

You'll be my favorite mistake

I wish you could hold me here, shakin'

You're the risk, I'm gonna take it

Why aren't you here in my bedroom?

Hopelessly boring without you

Too soon to tell you "I love you"

Too soon to tell you "I love you"

God, I'm actually invested

Think I really want this

I'm not even kidding

No, I'm actually invested

Haven't even met yet

Wish that I was kidding

I'm not, and I hate it

God, I'm actually invested

Haven't even met yet

Watch this be the wrong thing

Classic

God, I'm jumping in the deep end

It's more fun to swim in

Heard the risk is drownin', but I'm gonna take it

I'm gonna take it

Heard the risk is drownin', but I'm gonna take it

Songwriter:

Too soon to tell you "I love you"

Too soon to tell you "I love you"

Too soon to tell you "I love you"

You're the risk, I'm gonna take it

Jantar Mantar.

Es uno de los cinco observatorios astronómicos construidos en la India por el maharajá Jai Singh en 1728, quien además de guerrero era conocido por su afición a la astronomía.

Este monumento es Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

Ubicado en Jaipur, consiste en una colección de monumentos escultóricos, cuyas formas permitían el estudio de la evolución de las sombras producidas por el sol. El más impresionante es una estructura de 27 m de alto cuya sombra se mueve a razón de 4 metros por hora.

Hi I hope you can help with this and sorry in advance I have very little detail, I think Draco is living among muggles and Harry comes across him and is suspicioushe is upto something(when is not, lol). They go to cinemas and there is a beggar outside and Draco is very generous with him they kind of become friends, later somehow Draco stops contacting Harry I think and Harry goes to that beggar and he praises Draco.

Idk how relatable this is, but as someone obsessed with perfect squares (perfect cubes are better, but I do have an unhealthy obsession with both); there are several days of this year that make me unreasonably excited and I have informed people when the date is comprised of all perfect squares every time this year it’s already occurred (only thrice so far.) I will continue to be annoying through January, with returning tours in April and September. Also, September 16 will be the best one all year because it’s 9/16/25, which I don’t need to explain; and even if you write out the full 2025, that’s STILL a perfect square
