'Indeed, one of the most obvious sentiments that gives rise to secret societies is that of revenge, but good & wise revenge....' - Charles Heckethorn - Secret Societies Of All Ages (1897).
'Sarastro (Mozart: Die Zauberflöte). Bass. High Priest of Isis and Osiris. Considered to be evil by the Queen of Night, he is actually very sympathetic and protective towards Pamina, the Queen's daughter, and protects her from the brutish moor Monastatos. Sarastro loves Pamina but accepts that she will be the wife of Tamino, whom she loves. He and his priests order Tamino to undergo various ordeals to prove his suitability to marry her.' - oxfordreference.com/view
'Scene 9: A rocky landscape outside the temple; night
The traitorous Monostatos appears with the Queen of the Night and her three ladies. They plot to destroy the temple ("Nur stille, stille" / Just quiet, quiet) and the Queen confirms that she has promised her daughter Pamina to Monostatos. But before the conspirators can enter the temple, they are magically cast out into eternal night. There is then a scene change without interrupting the music, leading into scene 10.
Scene 10: The Temple of the Sun
Sarastro announces the sun's triumph over the night, and hails the dawn of a new era of wisdom and brotherhood. Animals appear again and dance in the sun...'
