The story and a comics..it's a night where the lonely man accidentally has a date and the man at the back seat said: "I would shot my lung out if I have this song in my mind".

“Don’t talk about it. Just forget it, it’s all right now.”

            “But I want to talk about it,” Vincent (He) insist gently, “Perhaps, if I do I ‘ll stop thinking about it. It wasn’t the exclusion that was hard, it was the proximity of mad men. Some of them awoke at night with terrible cries. At time I felt I was crazy…”

            Something inside him seem to have unlocked the floodgates of speech. In a torrent of words he told Henri about his life in Arles, the hours spent in the fields under the broiling sun, painting with a frenzy that grew into a sort of madness and the staggering walk back to town at sunset over dusty country roads, his easel strapped on his back, the still wet canvas on his hand. Then Gaugan’s long-awaited had arrived with the trip together at Avignon and then back at Arles the first quarrels,

   In December, Gauguin painted a portrait of van Gogh painting a sunflower bouquet, reflecting his sympathy with van Gogh’s endeavors, but whenever he raised the topic of departure, van Gogh would become agitated.

According to Gauguin's account, on the evening of December 23, 1888, van Gogh confronted him with a razor, demanding to know if he intended to leave Arles. Gauguin's confirmation further upset van Gogh,, the argument degenerating into bawls. Gauguin who turned and fled. Disturbed by his companion's irrational behavior, spent the night in a hotel. So they went together at the Café de’ la Gare to reconcile in absinth’s glasses, and the evening at the brothel. Never any word nobody has ever told who ever cares for less than their friendship had flung out a glass of au burgundy onto Gaugan’s face. Van Gogh only drank absinth liquor no burgundy and the awkward pity of the whores. Finally the crack up. No one but him hears cymbals crashing up over his skull that had swirled, he shook his eyes didn’t believe on what had happen, the circumstance so come se come ca and rampaged over the glass au burgundy. He has been bitten in the left ear and it dangling over the pool of blood. His own blood drew the temporary madness. Rachel to whom he thought of and he kept the dangling conversation off and on during wrap and unwrap…. "Last Sunday night at half past eleven a painter named Vincent Vangogh, appeared at the maison de tolérance, asked for a girl called Rachel, and handed her ... his ear with these words: 'Keep this object like a treasure.' Then he disappeared. then again covered the thing with the newspaper May 5, 2009 - According to a new book, the painter Vincent van Gogh did not slice off his left ear in a fit of madness and drunkenness in Arles in December 1888. His ear was severed by a bitten row of teeth wielded by his friend, the painter, Paul Gauguin, in a drunken row over a woman called Rachel and the true nature of art. dated the twenty-third of December 1988. Then on the occasion of rampage, he ran to her with the designated gift in his hand. She collapsed their right on the couch while they played Chopin’s nocturne…the last nocturne. The following morning when Gauguin returned to the Yellow House, he was shocked to find it spattered with blood. Taken into custody by the police for interrogation, he discovered that van Gogh had returned home after their confrontation and mutilated his left ear. Bleeding profusely, he went to a brothel and was then taken to a hospital. Upon release from the authorities, Gauguin telegraphed Theo, who arrived on the next morning's train. 
 He collapse on the floor after return to the hotel Auvers sur Oise where he was lodgings. He was silent for a moment, “I feels fine,” Vincent said in a toneless voice. He sat down. “It’s good to see you again, Henri. I arrived yesterday and spent the day with Theo and Johanna”.

….In a torrent of words he told Henri about his life in Arles: the hours spent in the fields under the hot sun, painting the fields with yellowish shades….

Dom Pérignon (/ˌdɒmpɛrɪˈnjɒn/; French pronunciation: ​[dɔ̃peʁiɲɔ̃]) is a brand of vintage Champagne produced by the Champagne house Moët & Chandon and serves as that house's prestige champagne. It is named after Dom Pérignon, aBenedictine monk who was an important quality pioneer for Champagne wine but who, contrary to popular myths, did not discover the champagne method for makingsparkling wines.

History

Dom Pérignon (1638–1715) was a monk and cellar master at the Benedictine abbey in Hautvillers. He pioneered a number of winemaking techniques around 1670—being the first to blend grapes in such a way as to improve the quality of wines, balance one element with another in order to make a better whole, and deal with a number of their imperfections; perfecting the art of producing clear white wines from black grapes by clever manipulation of the presses; enhancing the tendency of Champagne wines to retain their natural sugar in order to naturally induce secondary fermentation in the Spring; being a master at deciding when to bottle these wines in order to capture the bubble. He also introduced corks (instead of wood), which were fastened to bottles with hemp string soaked in oil in order to keep the wines fresh and sparkling, and used thicker glass in order to strengthen the bottles (which were prone to explode at that time). The development of sparkling wines as the main style of production in Champagne occurred progressively in the 19th century, more than a century after Dom Pérignon's death.

Dom Pérignon was the first prestige cuvée Champagne introduced, an idea proposed by Englishman Laurence Venn.The first vintage of Dom Pérignon was 1921 and was only released for sale in 1936, sailing to New York in the liner Normandie.^[4] The brand, not exploited, was given by Champagne Mercier to Moët in 1927 for a wedding between the two families.

Bottle of Dom Pérignon

The first buyers of Dom Pérignon 1921 were 150 customers of Simon Bros. & Co., the company that imported Moët in the United Kingdom, which ordered the first 300 bottles. The wine got immediate attention in the marketplace and 100 boxes were shipped to the United States shortly thereafter. James Buchanan Duke, the billionaire who had founded the American Tobacco Company, ordered 100 bottles for himself. The 17 bottles sold at an auction in Christie's in New York City in June 2004 were part of that order (Doris Duke, the billionaire’s daughter, had kept them in her cellar). According to current Dom Pérignon cellar master Richard Geoffroy (2012), who has been Chef de Cave for Dom Pérignon since 1990, the 1921 vintage had a "distinctive bouquet comprising sandalwood,vanilla and praline".

Until the 1943 vintage, Dom Pérignon was produced from regular vintage Moët & Chandon Champagne that was transferred to the special 18th century-style bottles after extended cellaring. It was, thus, effectively an "oenothèque" release of Moët & Chandon Vintage Champagne in a different bottle. From the 1947 vintage, Dom Pérignon has been produced separately from the start.

In 1971, the Shah of Iran ordered several bottles of the first vintage of Dom Pérignon Rosé (the 1959) for the 2,500 year celebration of the Persian Empire. A bottle of that champagne, from that order, was sold at auction for €24,758 in 2008.

In 1981, Dom Pérignon was chosen for the wedding of Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles. The magnums of Dom Pérignon Vintage 1961 served on that July 29 carried a special insignia created just for the ceremony

The manufacturing process involves several distillations which are then blended.

The same company also produces "B & B" (or Bénédictine and Brandy), which is Bénédictine diluted with brandy, making it less sweet than Bénédictine. B & B was developed in the 1930s when consumers began a trend of mixing Bénédictine with brandy to produce a drier taste. Both Bénédictine and B&B are 40% alcohol (80 proof) by volume. Until recently, both Bénédictine and B & B were 43% alcohol (86 proof). In 1977, the company introduced a 60 proof (30% alcohol) coffee liqueur, Café Bénédictine, a blend of Bénédictine and a coffee-flavoured liqueur, however, Café Bénédictine is no longer produced or available. Additionally, the company produces a Bénédictine Single Cask. Bénédictine Single Cask comes in a unique black bottle and is only available at the Palais de la Bénédictine's store in Fécamp, Normandy, France.

Thon Nontaz originally chose to write a brief orchestral prelude instead of a full overture for the opera. He then composed an overture of the "Pourquoi Je t'aime tellement?" variety to replace the original prelude. However, in the end he decided not to have the overture performed because of its—his own words—"pretentious insipidity".
