e pur si muove

He who has no reason, seeks pretexts - Seneca, in The Coronation of Poppea (L’Incoronazione Di Poppea)

The worse side always prevails/When force and reason conflict - ibid

I was listening to the strains of Monteverdi on period instruments while doing my last quantum mechanics homework set ever at score seats the back of the theater. Occasionally I looked up at the performance unfolding onstage and caught a few interesting scenes.

Normally I love operas, but not when I have a homework set which I had yet to start on due Monday. And a math test to boot. Bah.

These lamps and lights by Paul Cocksedge are just too beautiful to ignore.
