#Gold Cup

[thesilicontribesman]

Rillaton Early Bronze Age Gold Cup, about 1800 to 1600 BCE, Rillaton, Cornwall, The British Museum, London

The Rillaton cup was discovered by accident in 1837 by workmen robbing stone from a large burial caim on Bodmin Moor, Comwall. It was found with a bronze dagger. Other items, including fragments of human bone, were reported but have not survived. A recently discovered letter, dated a few days after the find, has with it a sketch showing that the cup originally had a round base.

The King of Thule

" Der König in Thule " (" The King in Thule ") is a German poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, written in 1774.

Goethe wrote the poem " Geistesgruß " as a precursor of " Der König in Thule ", while he was traveling to Lahneck Castle on the river Lahn in July 1774. Under Herder 's influence, the setting was changed to the mythical island kingdom Thule , which was thought to be the northernmost place Greek seafarers ventured into antiquity.

In Thule lived a monarch,

Still faithful to the grave, To whom his dying mistress

A golden goblet gave.

Beyond all price he deem'd it,

He quaff'd it at each feast; And, when he drain'd that goblet,

His tears to flow ne'er ceas'd.

And when he felt death near him,

His cities o'er he told, And to his heir left all things,

But not that cup of gold.

A regal banquet held he

In his ancestral ball, In yonder sea-wash'd castle,

'Mongst his great nobles all.

There stood the aged reveller,

And drank his last life's-glow,— Then hurl'd the holy goblet

Into the flood below.

He saw it falling, filling,

And sinking 'neath the main, His eyes then closed for ever,

He never drank again.

Isolde and the Love Potion (Ysoude with the Love Philter)

Artist: Frederick Sandys (British, 1829–1904)

Date: 1870

Medium: Oil on panel

Collection: Museo de Arte de Ponce, Ponce, Puerto Rico

Description

Isolde is a character in the cycle of Asturians legends. The young woman was engaged to King Marco, but by mistake he drank a love potion with Tristan, the King’s emissary. The concoction caused the unfortunate couple to fall in love madly, with tragic consequences. Flowers have a symbolic meaning in this picture. The roses that appear in the foreground may be the ones that were used to make the potion, but they also represent love and passion. The pink carnations that decorate the tapestry of the background represent romantic love and the bonds of affection. Violets allude to fidelity, while thoughts evoke the feelings that lovers share.
