Go slowly into the dark room, sit down.
Listen to the reactions: "we can't see anything... it's dark...
Listen to noises coming from outside.

Evoking sleep in tales
Goldilocks falling asleep and falling asleep with the 3 bears.
Alice in Wonderland falling asleep and dreaming.
Sleeping Beauty plunged into a long sleep following a spell.
Snow White asleep as if she were dead.
The Princess and the Pea who can't sleep because of discomfort.
Poetry
As it is dark...
How dark it is in the valley!
I saw only a veiled form
Floated there on the forest.
She came out of the meadow,
His foot skimmed the flowering grass
It's a strange daydream,
It fades and disappears.

The Night - Jean Pierre SIMEON
The Moonbeam Song
Do you know who I am ?
- moonbeam
Do you know where I come from?
- look up there.
My mother is bright and the night is brown
I crawl on the tree and slide under the water;
I lay down on the grass and run on the dune;
I climb the black wall, the trunk of the birch,
Like a marauder looking for his fortune.
I'm never cold, I'm never hot.

Dame souris
Dame souris trotte
Noire dans le gris du soir.
Dame souris trotte,
Grise dans le noir...
Un nuage passe,
Il fait noir comme en un four.
Un nuage passe :
Tiens, le petit jour !
Dame souris trotte,
Rose dans les rayons bleus,
Dame souris trotte,
Debout, paresseux !

Danae - Gustav KLIMT
This painting by Gustav Klimt represents the myth of Danae.
Danae is the daughter of Acrisios, king of Argos and Eurydice. The myth tells that Acrisios locks up Danae in a tower after having consulted an oracle who announces to the king that he will be killed by his grandson.
He locks Danae in a tower so that no one can approach him.
But Zeus, in love with the young woman, falls in the form of golden rain on the sleeping Danea.
From this divine meeting will be born Perseus.
Asleep, Danae seems innocent and full of sweetness.
Her calm, peaceful face contrasts with the sensuality of her thigh, of her breast and her half-open mouth.
Klimt, as usual, puts the eroticism of women in the foreground as well as the sensuality of the body.
Danaé - Jan GOSSAERT aka MABUSE
In this painting, Danaé is represented halfway covered by a blue garment which highlights the whiteness of her body and_cc7819758de90-39758 bb3b-136bad5cf58d_which gives an erotic aspect to this work.
She is sitting on a cushion at the top of the tower while the golden rain falls on her.
Pottery: Danae and the Golden Rain
Ceramic from Antiquity.
Danae is sitting or lying down, barely dressed and receiving the golden rain.
