Diderot1713-1784 DIDEROT, Denis (1713-84).The essayist and philosopher Denis Diderot was one of the originators and interpreters of the Age of Enlightenment. This 18th-century movement was based on the belief that right reason, or rationalism, could find true knowledge and lead mankind to progress and happiness. He was the chief editor of its leading testament, the 'Encyclopedie'. Portrait of Denis Diderot Louis Michel Van Loo 1767
Ludwig van Beethoven1770-1827 The key of the Fifth Symphony, C minor, is commonly regarded as a special key for Beethoven, specifically a "stormy, heroic tonality".[
Franz Lizst1811-1886 After 1842 "Lisztomania" swept across Europe. The reception Liszt enjoyed as a result can only be described as hysterical. Women fought over his silk handkerchiefs and velvet gloves, which they ripped to shreds as souvenirs. Helping fuel this atmosphere was the artist's mesmeric personality and stage presence. Many witnesses later testified that Liszt's playing raised the mood of audiences to a level of mystical ecstasy.[18]
John Keats1795-1821 Bright StarBright star, would I were steadfast as thou art —Not in lone splendour hung aloft the nightAnd watching, with eternal lids apart,Like Nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,The moving waters at their priestlike taskOf pure ablution round earth's human shores,Or gazing on the new soft-fallen maskOf snow upon the mountains and the moors —No — yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,To feel for ever its soft swell and fall,Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,And so live ever — or else swoon to death.
Percy Bysshe Shelley1792-1818 • To a Skylark • by Percy Bysshe Shelley Hail to thee, blithe spirit!Bird thou never wert-That from heaven or near itPourest thy full heartIn profuse strains of unpremeditated art. Higher still and higherFrom the earth thou springest,Like a cloud of fire;The blue deep thou wingest,And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest.
