Chapter 940 "Lie down"

After the sky darkened, those giant cruise ships cruised on the sea and did not enter the Venice canals.

The first is that Venice is not as colorful at night as it is during the day, and the second is perhaps because I am afraid of having poor visibility and bumping into those ancient buildings.

Although with modern technology, those cruise ships will not sink like the Titanic, but those old buildings really cannot withstand such an impact.

Looking at the people wearing masks on the street, Pomona couldn't help but think of the Venetians she met at the Doge's Palace that day. Many of these people wanted independence from Italy.

The Roman bureaucrats only thought about the jobs and taxes created by tourism, and did not care about the life and death of Venice. As for the Moses plan to prevent the floods, it was of no significance at all. 4.5 billion euros is not a small amount. According to the "democratic" government, they are building the Suez Canal and Panama.

Corruption problems often occur in the construction of large-scale facilities such as canals. It is unknown how many borers will be raised with this "life-saving" money.

Anyway, there is no way to stop Venice and it will inevitably sink to the bottom of the sea. The money would be better spent buying real estate elsewhere.

This weird logic is also a kind of logic. The modern education system is "survival of the fittest". Teachers and parents pay more attention to test scores and do not tell the "losers" how to face difficulties and failures.

Lucius is this kind of parent. He always said that Draco couldn't even pass the exam for a Muggle girl. Draco only became so sad when he was in sixth grade. He had no experience in the world and had to bear the responsibility alone when all the adults were missing.

The pressure has to be endured.

If Hermione Granger had not entered Hogwarts, maybe she would have become one of those top students in a Muggle school who was good at taking exams, and would have followed the same life path as everyone else in a given bright future, wearing beautiful clothes.

Dresses and high heels, attending social events in "upper class" are definitely not the same as going on adventures with boys in wizard robes and boots in the wizarding world.

Female admirers refer to men who are easily attracted to women. They are not necessarily carefree, but they often feel that they are much happier when they are with women than with men. This has nothing to do with vanity.

, purely for spiritual satisfaction.

But not all women are worthy of admiration and pleasing to others. Hermione seemed very domineering at the beginning, and many people couldn't stand her. Later, she changed the attitude of a top student, and she

Ron and Harry became good friends.

As a witch, she actually doesn't believe in divination.

The principles of divination such as number divination and tarot cards are different. Every time Sybil used her "eye of the sky" to divination, she had no idea what she said and her voice changed, as if something was controlling her.

Renaissance architecture reflects the relationship between the microcosm of the human body and the world, and the macrocosm of the universe. The "golden ratio" discovered by Vitruvius was used in the design of temples. The architectural layout he prescribed is like a person lying on the ground.

of floor plan.

Draw a circle with a person's navel, and the person's fingers and toes just touch the circle. The cross may be a torture instrument, but it is used to fix the human body, so it has the same proportions as the human body.

The comparability of the proportions of the human body and the macroscopic world created the core of Leonardo da Vinci's world view and was also a symbol of Renaissance humanism. Compared with the Florentine school's control of "structure", the Venetian school was more

Pay attention to the visual impact brought by color.

The Anatomy Theater is also different from Florence's Anatomy, which requires admission.

The "divinity" of Florence can be felt when you are in the church, while the "secularity" of Venice is the sensory experience brought about by the stimulation of the picture. But that is different from the element pictures filled with commercial movies for commercial needs.

Behemoth is a very huge beast. It is like the human subconscious. It is huge, heavy and unknown. It usually crawls on its knees. When the river is overflowing, it does not fight. Even if the water of the Jordan River rises to its mouth, it is safe.

.

At the same time, it has rough skin and thick flesh. If you prick it with an ordinary weapon, it won't feel anything at all. If it hurts, it will go crazy. It's not that easy to make it obey orders and run according to your own orders.

In the 1980s, the Japanese people overextended their consumption desires. At that time, Japanese tour groups could be seen everywhere in Europe.

Now there is no trace of them. On the one hand, they have no money. On the other hand, they probably have a "big realization" after experiencing a cliff-like decline. There are more important things in life than "consumption", and there is also anxiety about the future.

If you spend all your money now, what will you do if you get sick or provide for your retirement?

The "big-hearted" Americans have no such considerations at all. The United States is more materialistic than Japan. It has no money to borrow money for consumption. If it rushes forward without thinking, sooner or later the ship it is sitting on will hit an iceberg.

Seattle was originally the name of an Indian chief. His original name was "Sears", but due to misinformation, it was changed to "Seattle".

The white people took a fancy to the Indian tribe's land and wanted to buy it, forcing them to accept the deal. In order to save the lives of the tribe, Seattle had to agree, but he wrote a letter to those who wanted to buy the Indian territory in the northwest United States.

White people:

To our nation, every part of this land is sacred.

Every beach, every farmland, every mountain, every river, every sparkling pine needle, every buzzing insect, as well as the mist in the dense jungle, the white clouds in the blue sky, are everywhere.

The memories and experiences of our nation are all sacred.

We are part of the earth, and the earth is part of us. The grass, green leaves, and flowers are our sisters, and the elk, horses, and eagles are our brothers. The sap flows through the tree trunks, just like blood flows through our veins. We

It belongs to the same homeland as the mountains, rivers, animals and plants on the earth.

What sparkles in streams and rivers is not just water, but also the blood of our ancestors. Every reflection in the clear lake reflects our experiences and memories; the sound of gurgling water echoes the cordial calls of our ancestors. The river is

We quench our thirst, nourish our hearts, and raise our children and grandchildren. The river carries the canoe, and the canoe travels on the ever-flowing river, and the canoe is filled with our hopes.

If we give up this land and transfer it to you, you must remember: this land is sacred. The river is our brother and your brother. You should treat our river well as you treat your own brothers. Indian

People like the smell of the breeze after the rain, the sound of it blowing over the water, and the fragrance of rosin wafting in the wind.

Air is also precious to us, because all life needs it. If we give up this land and transfer it to you, you must remember: this land is sacred. The air and the life it nourishes are one,

The breeze gave our ancestors their first breath and sent away their last sigh. You must take good care of it so that you can taste the sweet smell of the wind passing through the grass.

If we give up this land and transfer it to you, you must remember: this land is sacred. You must take good care of the animals on this land. Without animals, what will happen to humans? What if all the animals die?

, humans will also perish. The fate that befell animals will eventually befall humans. Tell your children that the land under their feet is the ashes of their ancestors, and the land preserves the lives of our relatives.

Just like we teach our children, tell your children that the earth is our mother. Whatever happens to the earth will eventually happen to the children of the earth.

We love the earth, just like a newborn baby loves the warm embrace of its mother. You must love it and take care of it as much as we do. You must devote all your strength and emotion to protecting the earth for future generations.

We know very well that the earth does not belong to humans, but humans belong to the earth.

Americans like to gamble. The casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City are not enough. They also need Indian tribes to open casinos. Perhaps it is because of gambling that they like to bet that small-probability events will not happen.

Compared with worrying about "the day after tomorrow," "tomorrow" is more worth worrying about. Pomona estimates that once the Yellowstone volcano erupts, some people will just "lay down" and have no intention of struggling. Such people will be very vulnerable when the "end of the world" comes.

It's common, otherwise so many people would commit suicide every time a natural or man-made disaster strikes.

Neville Longbottom was one of those "wasted students" who was "eliminated". He was far inferior to Harry in terms of magic power. No wonder he was not "chosen" by Albus even though he was also a child born at the end of July.

As for why he was not "chosen" by Voldemort...

She looked back at Severus Snape, who was sleeping soundly in the tent. He had nothing to do with the Longbottoms, but was an "old acquaintance" with Lily Potter.

"I want to see who he is loyal to." She heard Voldemort's voice behind her head saying, "How would he react if I killed the woman he loved most."

"You're a devil, Tom."

Tom Riddle let out a faint smile, and then said leisurely, "They called me the Dark Lord. I once thought that I was the only one who could live forever."

"Do you still want to live forever?"

No one paid attention to her.

Just when she thought she would never have the answer, Voldemort asked again, "What is a woman loyal to?"

"Love." She answered without hesitation.

"You are a fool." Voldemort said.

"Yes, you were defeated by a group of fools." Pomona sarcastically said, "Remember what Albus said about you?"

No one paid attention to her now.

So she jumped up to Severus' side and desperately woke him up.

Before he opened his eyes, his brows furrowed first, as if he had experienced a lot of pain, and then he slowly raised his eyelids.

Those black eyes were like bottomless "blue holes" with no light visible, and at the same time they were like two tunnels connecting the Hogwarts castle.

"How about we bury Albus and Grindelwald together?" she said whimsically.

"They're all rotten to the bone," Severus replied impatiently.

"Why didn't you tell me that he and Grindelwald were a couple!" She started to beat him.

"You took it upon yourself to bury him in the school." He carefully avoided her fingernails to avoid being caught. "Now you know what the consequences of being self-righteous are?"

As if she was under a petrifying spell, she suddenly stopped.

That's right, if she didn't mind her own business and Albus was buried outside the school like the other headmasters, they could secretly move Grindelwald's bones to Albus's cemetery.

"Is this your punishment?" she said pitifully.

"Do you think what he did to me shouldn't be punished?" Severus said calmly, "He got what he deserved."

"What about me? I get what I deserve too?"

Severus pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Have you forgiven me?"

"I don't know," Severus said. "Do you think you deserve forgiveness?"

"I have no idea."

"Then don't think about it." He hugged her and let her sleep next to him again. "We will sort out the furniture tomorrow. I'm tired today."

She obeyed and lay down, listening to his even breathing, but did not close her eyes to sleep.

She looked at the tent above her head, as if looking at the ceiling through it. Although she didn't want to paint Genesis like a Sistine ceiling painting, it would be better to paint something on the ceiling. After all, this is Venice, even if it has to sink.

When she goes to the bottom of the sea, the Queen of the Adriatic should also be dressed up as if she were buried at sea.

Did Michelangelo exchange architectural ideas with Leonardo da Vinci? After all, he designed St. Peter's Basilica

In addition, the bronze canopy was built after melting the statues of the Pantheon, which is the same virtue as what a certain Muslim civilization did.

Dongfang has long been studying the realm of unity between man and nature.
