Due Discovery

I just realised the cover of one of my favourite books: A Trip to the Stars, is actually a painting called Queen of the Night by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. I never saw that. It just looked like a canopy of stars, much like that of the ceiling of some Renaissance-styled concert hall.

I guess I was never into paintings, otherwise I would have spotted it :) And I dun recall having read that in the book. Strange.

Anyway the discovery was a little of an overdue eureka. Whatever. It is good to now know the truth. I have been set free from not knowing and not knowing that I did not know.
