Casta Diva On A Loop In My Ear

The Best Of His Dreams 

Listening to Casta Diva on a loop in my ear, the haunting melody, 

this reminds of the famous Russian Moiseyev ballet corps dancing by

gliding like Dryads, the beautiful meandering of this aria can bring the

listener to his knees when the full force of the minor sadness is fully

experienced, this is the ambrosia the gods give mankind to express

the infinite sadness and longing that accompanies all human beings


[Listening to the loop I suspect fun is had by my brother

Peter-Pan-Ian, it starts with Mimi Coertze singing - then

seamlessly, her voice is later replaced by another - nice

brother, Peter Pan in Neverland is always inventive - and

gives me the best of his dreams! Thank you for the beauty]


Casta Diva English Translation

Pure Goddess, whose silver covers
These sacred ancient plants,
we turn to your lovely face
unclouded and without veil...
Temper, oh Goddess,
the hardening of you ardent spirits
temper your bold zeal,
Scatter peace across the earth
Thou make reign in the sky...


Original Casta Diva Italian Lyrics

Casta Diva, che inargenti
queste sacre antiche piante,
a noi volgi il bel sembiante
senza nube e senza vel...
Tempra, o Diva,
tempra tu de’ cori ardenti
tempra ancora lo zelo audace,
spargi in terra quella pace
che regnar tu fai nel ciel…
