Today's opera quote
Just 'cos.
"I secretly grow afraid
because things are going to get merry here:
by my ladder
stood a woman;
she shamed and did not want
look at me;
as pale as a cabbage,
hemp wound about my body;
blinking its eye
the dog blew wavingly
what I long devoured,
like fruit, and wood and horse
from the tree of liver."
From Act III of Wagner's Die Meistersinger
