Illustration by Léon Bakst for the ballet Afternoon of a Faun by Nijinsky, after Debussy's music. The illustration depicts a stylized scene from the ballet, highlighting its themes of sensuality and mythological fantasy. Bakst’s characteristic use of vivid colors, ornate details, and bold, flowing lines reflects the Art Nouveau and Orientalist styles prominent in his works for the Ballets Russes. The focal point is a faun, a mythological creature with human and goat-like features, lounging in a lush, dreamlike landscape. The faun is surrounded by a fantastical environment of intricate flora and delicate patterns, evoking a sense of enchantment. The setting incorporates a mix of classical and exotic elements, emphasizing the ethereal and otherworldly quality of the ballet’s narrative.

I had an astrophysics TA who had learned Latin so he could read Newton in the original form. He said the ACTUAL text was full of jokes, puns and commentary the translations omit.

Of course, I couldn't confirm this…

I asked the #BrokenPost's sucky new search engine a question. It had no answer.
How do I get your lousy new search engine to give me results in reverse chronological order? Sorry, we couldn't generate an answer — this feature is still experimental. See search results below or try another question.
