The American Minervan

Recondita Armonia | Plácido Domingo

The supreme tranquility of Plácido, when Plácido Domingo sings Recondita armonia. Romanticism never dies in us. . .

But our Floria is Sophia.

English

What subtle harmony of different beauties!
Floria, my passionate lover is a brunette
And you, unknown beauty,
Are framed by fair hair
You have blue eyes
Tosca has dark eyes
The mysterious art
Mixes the different beauties together:
But while I paint her
I only think
Ah! I only think of you
Tosca, of you! 		Original (Italian)

Recondita armonia di bellezze diverse!
Ȉ bruna Floria, l’ardente amante mia,
E te, beltade ignota cinta di chiome bionde!
Tu azzurro hai l’occhio
Tosca ha l’occhio nero!
L’arte nel suo mistero
Le diverse bellezze insiem confonde:
Ma nel ritrar costei
Il mio solo pensiero,
Ah! il mio sol pensier sei tu!
Tosca, sei tu!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dominique Johnson is a writer and author of The American Minervan created years ago and changed from its first iteration as Circle of Asia (11 years ago), because of its initial Eurasian focus. The change indicated increasing concern for the future of their own home country. He has spent many years academically researching the deeper philosophical classical sources of Theosophy, Eclecticism and American Republicanism to push beyond current civilizational limitations. He has spent his life since a youth dedicated to understanding what he sees as the “inner meanings” and instruction in classical literature, martial philosophies, world mythology and folklore for understanding both the nature of life and dealing with the challenges of life.
