A Sea Spell

Artist: Dante Gabriel Rossetti (British, 1828-1882)

Date: 1877

Medium: Oil Paint on Canvas

Collection: Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Description

A Sea-Spell was painted for Rossetti’s patron Frederick Leyland, a ship magnate who owned a large number of paintings by the artist. Rossetti first planned to illustrate lines from Coleridge’s poem Kubla Khan - “A damsel with a dulcimer / In a vision once I saw” - but the subject was ultimately derived from his own poem, inscribed on the frame that he designed. The musician’s “lashing fingers weave the sweet-strung spell” of the siren, a mythological figure whose voice lures sailors to their deaths. Although sirens were traditionally described as women with the bodies or heads of birds, Rossetti’s enchantress retains her human form. The artist evokes all of the senses in his lushly claustrophobic canvas; the siren’s dreamy mien suggests that she, too, has been bewitched by the music and by the fragrance of the surrounding flowers. The subject of the dangerous woman, or “femme fatale,” flourished in the nineteenth century.

Lizzie Hearts Headcanons

Her full name is Princess Elizabeth Bicycle Hearts.

Her official title is Princess of Hearts, but she prefers to be “Queen and King, best of both hearts!”

Her favorite tea is cardamum. 

She likes to use nonce words in her speech.

Lizzie has her own Itsy shop where she sells her dresses.

She was mad at Daring for cheating on her with Duchess, but she realizes that they never made anything official. They didn���t communicate well about their dating situation other than keeping it a secret. After cooling down, she wanted to talk to him. But he ran away from her because he was afraid she was going to chop off his head. They’re on good terms now, and she still has some feelings for him, but they both agree that they’re better as friends and fellow Royals. 

She, like the rest of the Wonderland refugees, has a close relationship with the Mad Hatter. Having been her guardian for several years, he developed a fatherly relationship with her and Kitty. Lizzie plans to knight him when she becomes Queen. 

The Mad Hatter and Lizzie’s mother have a complicated relationship. She once planned to have him executed for “murdering the time”, but she has since pardoned him because he took Lizzie in. He is now set for execution again, this time for “murdering the space”. Lizzie plans to pardon him for this as well.

Do not mistake her for the Red Queen’s daughter. Then she really will cut off your head.

She loves botany and horticulture. She personally tended to the gardens outside her castle in Wonderland (to make sure all her roses were red) and the Wonderland Grove to stay closer to home. She also tends to the Garden of Live Flowers. 

She’s constantly losing her voice from yelling so much. She has Maddie or Kitty on speed dial for when she needs tea, because putting tea in a thermos would be blasphemy.

She hates Duchess’s trumpeter swan, Pirouette. She may be a morning person, but she doesn’t appreciate being woken up when everyone else is still asleep. She doesn’t say anything for Duchess’s sake, but she is this close to turning that swan into a croquet mallet.

Lizzie has a little brother named Timmy, and he would annoy her to no end. After fleeing Wonderland and leaving him behind, she found herself missing his annoyances, and chasing him around the castle. 

She once built an entire house of cards out of the Card Soldiers when she was nine. Unfortunately, a strong gust of wind blew them away. They were all found eventually.

She had a childhood crush on Alistair. 

Of the three who took refuge in Ever After with the Mad Hatter, Lizzie had the most trouble adapting to her new environment. She felt guilty for leaving her family and kingdom behind. She sometimes has nightmares about her home’s suffering and her loved ones blaming her for leaving them. 

She has a musical side to her that she never shows people. She can play the dulcimer, the calliope, the glass harmonica, and the hurdy-gurdy.

She takes competition very seriously, especially croquet. It is Wonderland’s official sport, and she will not see anything less that perfection and victory from her family’s sport. 

She and her mother are the owners of the vorpal sword. The original White Knight used it to defeat the Jabberwocky the first time and left it in the Queen of Hearts’s care. It is now only used for knighting ceremonies and slicing cakes.

Water Damage — In E (12XU)

Anyone who plays guitar or bass is familiar with the key of E. It’s the lowest string in standard tuning, so if you’re planning on jamming, E is a pretty safe bet to get the blood racing and the air waves humming. On their new 80-minute, four-sided album In E, Texas instrumental noise-rock collective Water Damage explore various grinding permutations of the key of E, recorded live to tape. The result is a seething, sense-obliterating squall, to which the listener must willingly submit.

With the Velvet Underground’s seminal White Light / White Heat as an obvious precursor, opener “Reel E” features violin as the main texture of variance, sawing and screaming over the churn of electric guitar, bass and drums, all throbbing in the red. There are several minutes of respite at the start of “Reel EE” as the bass and drums slam out a minimalist groove before a wave of guitar feedback sweeps up the remainder of the track’s frequency range. There’s more breathing room again on “Reel EEE,” with some almost-pretty dulcimer glimmering in the mix at points. And finale “Ladybird” is a cover of a song by Shit & Shine, featuring indecipherable vocals that sound like they’re being emitted by a broken radio.

Though it’s difficult to discern the individual contributions of the 11 listed players — including Thor Harris (Swans) and Jonathan Horne (Jana Horn) —  that’s beside the point. What matters here is the collective maelstrom, the saturated tape, the surrender to the void. If you’re in the mood to lose yourself in the sound of a jam-room burning to the ground under the intense pile-driving weight of volume and distortion, look no further.
