Aeternum
Smile upon the sun, And bathe in her everlasting grace. Let sorrow rinse from weary skin, And rise to joy, to endless heights.
Thou shalt not reach my everlasting woe
nor pluck the sighs that from my breast do flow.
Each breath a secret kept from prying sky,
each feather falling where the hush lies by.
Thou wilt not seek her beauty; keep thy way
it lives untouched, a twilight and a day.
"Lunar Night", (1897)-Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky (1817-1900,Russian Empire)

“Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.”

Ivan Aivazovsky - "The Bay of Naples at moonlight night. Vesuvius" (1870)
"the secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is—to live dangerously ! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships into uncharted seas! Live at war with your peers and yourselves! Be robbers and conquerors as long as you cannot be rulers and possessors, you seekers of knowledge! Soon the age will be past when you could be content to live hidden in forests like shy deer. At long last the search for knowledge will reach out for its due; it will want to rule and possess , and you with it!"
A view of Rome, Franz Knebel (Swiss, 1809-1877)
