ADVIENTO I

Para otros niño, amigo, yo veo en ti al numen que conocí temblando, y es fin de mi fervor.

Viniste el día postrero que de aguardar consunto, que de rogar cansado me hundí en la oscuridad.

Señal tuya fue el rayo que traspasó mi sombra, simientes que a tu paso brotaban plena flor.

KUNFTTAG I

Dem bist du kind · dem freund. Ich seh in dir den Gott Den schauernd ich erkannt Dem meine andacht gilt.

Du kamst am lezten tag Da ich von harren siech Da ich des betens müd Mich in die nacht verlor:

Du an dem strahl mir kund Der durch mein dunkel floss · Am tritte der die saat Sogleich erblühen liess.

Stefan George

HONESTLY LIKE..I FEEL THEIR MARRIAGE WAS RUSHED..LIKE

Ok, I could see like. Them celebrating the heros n whatnot but like...I didnt..feel much chemistry between them tbh

About the ending of The Troubadours of Roc-a-Pic...

I know Maximin's dad wanted to give him a reward for resisting his anger and Guillemette a reward for saving his ass, but after reading this one again for the first time since high school, I initially refused to believe that they just got married right then and there. They hardly interacted afaik. Idk it just seems kinda rushed at the time.

But eh, arranged marriages weren't unheard of in the middle ages anyway. Even if neither of them like each other in that way, at least they'll have heirs. I'm betting they were both like "Aw nice, I get to live with my best friend!"

Can't really see the marriage being very romantically fulfilling for them tho unless one or both of them are somewhere on the ace spectrum. But I guess after thinking about it, I can kinda see how it would be likely to happen considering the time period. Duke gets his heir back, and now there will be ANOTHER future heir to the dukedom. Guess it's a win win as far as inheritance is concerned ig. :/

MARY MAGDALENE

Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume

            In 1279, a sarcophagus believed to have been the tomb of Mary Magdalene was discovered. Charles II of Anjou, King of Naples founded the Gothic Basilica of St. Mary Magdalene. Tradition said that Mary, her brother Lazarus and Maximinus fled the Holy Land by a miraculous boat which landed in Camargue, near Arles. In Marseille, Mary converted the local people and retired to a cave in the mountains. She was buried in Saint-Maximin and today states that it holds the remains of Mary Magdalene. Genetic testing showed that the hair was of Jewish ancestry.

ELEVACIÓN

A quienes plañen en tinieblas llamas:     «¡Alzaos, insensatos! ¡Pálidas luces de los cirios mueran!     ¡Dad fin a los responsos!».

Toda la fuerza y luz que nos cediste     en tu terrena estancia daremos todos por que resucites,     hasta que del meollo

nuestro y de la belleza recordada     que fija nos alumbra, y del clamor de nuestro afán, te encarnes,     y sonriente aparezcas.

Para nuestras murientes brasas fuiste     la flamígera zarza; dispensador de inmarcesibles rosas,     de céfiros tu estela.

Con tu nueva figura conciliarnos,     cantar sus alabanzas; del séquito de sombras y sus duelos     librarnos ya contigo;

los males domeñar que nos quebrantan...     manda tu hálito ardiente, y arrojar tantas flores sobre el túmulo     que a los ojos se oculte.

ERHEBUNG

Du rufst uns an · uns weinende im finstern:     Auf! tore allesamt! Verlöschen muss der kerzen bleiches glinstern ·     Nun schliesst das totenamt!

Was du zu deines erdentags begehung     Gespendet licht und stark Das biete jeder dar zur auferstehung     Bis du aus unsrem mark

Aus aller schöne der wir uns entsonnen     Die ständig in uns blizt Und aus des sehnens zuruf leib gewonnen     Und lächelnd vor uns trittst.

Du warst für uns in frostiger lichter glosen     Der brand im dornenstrauch · Du warst der spender unverwelkter rosen     Du gingst vorm lenzeshauch.

Mit deiner neuen form uns zu versöhnen     Sie singend benedein · Vom zug der schatten die nichts tun als stöhnen     Dich und uns selbst befrein ·

Die schmerzen bändigen die uns zerrütten –     Gebeut dein feurig wehn Und soviel blumen hinzuschütten     Dass wir dein grab nicht sehn.

Stefan George

TODAY IN HISTORY

12 December 1279

A sarcophagus in Saint-Maximin, France, was found — believed to contain Mary Magdalene's remains.

According to legend, Mary Magdalene, along with her brother Lazarus and others, fled the Holy Land by boat and landed in France.

After landing, Mary Magdalene preached the gospel in Marseille before retiring to a cave in the Sainte-Baume mountains for a life of penance and contemplation.

After her death, she was buried in Saint-Maximin.

However, her remains were believed to have been lost or stolen until this rediscovery.

This led to the 1295 construction of the Basilica of St. Mary Magdalene.

Genetic tests on hair from the reliquary suggest it belonged to a woman of likely Jewish origin.

12 December 1863

Edvard Munch (1863-1944) was born in Løten, Norway. He became an extremely important figure in the Expressionist movement.

Munch's work includes his iconic piece, "The Scream."

His childhood was shadowed by illness, death and the fear of inheriting mental illness, which deeply influenced his art.

Munch had a unique style with its expressive color and form. His legacy endures as one of profound emotional expression in painting.

12 December 1915

The legendary Frank Sinatra was born in Hoboken, New Jersey.

I've played around with the idea of Johan, in a modern AU, being a private detective in my head the past few months, but didn't quite know how the whole thing worked in the modern era as I was mostly familiar with police detectives from shows like Law and Order and more old fashioned PIs like in Sherlock Holmes and film noir depictions (parodies of them particularly, but still).

So, new idea. Johan, after graduating from college, started out as a simple officer, then later became a police detective, at a much quicker rate than the rest of the squad expected. And like I said before, he ended up leaving that line of work out of disgust by the corruption of the police force. And those feelings built up real gradually the more he noticed some of the shit other officers would do, to the point he couldn't handle it anymore and was even at risk of being fired by the equally corrupt sheriff.

Later on, though, he'd wind up becoming a private investigator, using his prior experience to solve hard to solve crimes. This time, for individuals and other groups as opposed to the police. He ended up feeling a lot better there than he ever was in the police force. He'd sometimes even run into his old professor, Tremaine, while in court with his clients.

Oh, and he had to use his knife fighting skills with some real unsavory knife-weilding individuals a few times during his years as a PI.
