"La zattera della Medusa" (1819), olio su tela, 491 x 716 cm, del pittore Theodore Gericault (Musee du Louvre, Parigi)


TESTO DEL LIED

"Look down, fair moon and bathe this scene"
di Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Look down, fair moon and bathe this scene,
Pour softly down night's nimbus floods on faces
ghastly, swollen, purple,
on the dead on their backs with arms toss'd wide,
pour down your unstinted nimbus, sacred moon.
