<p>&quot;Starry, starry night<br />
Paint your palette blue and grey<br />
Look out on a summer's day<br />
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul<br />
Shadows on the hills<br />
Sketch the trees and the daffodils<br />
Catch the breeze and the winter chills<br />
In colors on the snowy linen land....<br />
<br />
.....Now I think I know<br />
What you tried to say to me<br />
And how you suffered for your sanity<br />
And how you tried to set them free<br />
They would not listen, they're not listening still<br />
Perhaps they never will&quot;<br />

<br />
&quot;Guarderò le stelle<br />
Com'erano la notte ad Arles<br />
Appese sopra il tuo boulevard;<br />
Io sono dentro agli occhi tuoi...<br />
<br />
...Fino a che i colori<br />
Non bastaron più...<br />
E avrei voluto dirti, Vincent<br />
Questo mondo non meritava<br />
Un uomo bello come te!<br />
<br />
Guarderò le stelle<br />
La tua, la mia metà del mondo<br />
Che sono le due scelte in fondo:<br />
O andare via o rimanere via&quot;<br />

<br />
The Sainte-Baume (Provençal: Massís de la Santa Bauma according to classical orthography and La Santo Baumo according to mistralian orthography) is a mountain ridge spreading between the departments of Bouches-du-Rhône and Var in Southern France. Its summit is 1147 metres high.<br />
<br />

John Cassian established a priory at Sainte-Baume in the early fifth century.<br />
<br />
Magdalene's grotto<br />
<br />
According to the Tradition of Provence, Mary Magdalene, Lazarus of Bethany and Maximinus, one of the Seventy Disciples, and some companions, expelled by persecutions from the Holy Land, traversed the Mediterranean in a frail boat with neither rudder nor mast and landed at the place called Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer near Arles. Lazarus came to Marseille and converted the whole of Provence. Magdalene is said to have retired to a cave on a hill by Marseille, La Sainte-Baume (&quot;Holy Cave&quot;, baumo in Provençal), where she gave herself up to a life of prayer and contemplation. The cave is now a Christian pilgrimage site.<br />
<br />
Louis IX of France visited the grotto in 1254. The site was under the management of the Dominicans when it was pillaged during the French Revolution. They subsequently returned in 1859 at the behest of Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire.<br />
<br />
In 1941, a hostel and school were established to serve as refuge for those fleeing Nazi persecution.<br />

<br />
Das Massif de la Sainte-Baume ist ein Bergrücken, der sich im Süden Frankreichs zwischen den Départements Bouches-du-Rhône und Var erstreckt. Seine höchste Erhebung, der Jouc de l’Aigle, erreicht 1148 Meter.<br />
<br />
Geologie<br />
<br />
Das Massif de la Sainte-Baume ist ein Faltengebirge. Sein geologischer Ursprung ist wie die Pyrenäen-Faltung im Tertiär vor rund 50 bis 100 Millionen Jahren der Zusammenstoß der Iberischen Halbinsel mit dem europäischen Kontinent. Das Mittelmeer-Gebirgsklima mit seinen feuchten und milden Wintern lässt das Gebirge zu einem der wichtigsten Wasserspeicher der Region und zum Quellgebiet zahlreicher Flüsse werden. Hier entspringen Huveaune, Vède, Peyruis, Gaudin, Caramy, Issole, Gapeau und Fauge. Darüber hinaus durchziehen wichtige unterirdische Wasserläufe das Gebiet.<br />
<br />
Flora und Fauna<br />
<br />
Rotbuchen- und Eichen-Wälder bestimmen die Landschaft des Massivs und bieten einer charakteristischen Flora und Fauna einen Lebensraum, der den Übergang von den Wäldern der Mittelmeerregion zu den auf mittlerer Ebene gelegenen Alpenwäldern darstellt. Es beherbergt zahlreiche seltene und bedrohte Käferarten und die nördlichsten Vertreter des provenzalischen Sandkrauts. Die Bergkette liegt im Regionalen Naturpark Sainte-Baume.<br />
<br />
Wallfahrt<br />
<br />
Nach einer alten französischen Legende kam Maria Magdalena über Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer ins Land und missionierte die Provence. Die letzten 30 Jahre ihres Lebens soll sie als Einsiedlerin in der Höhle La Sainte-Baume (provenzalisch baumo bed. 'Höhle' bzw. 'Felsüberhang', vgl. Balm) verbracht haben, nach der das Gebirge benannt ist. Die Höhle ist seit dem Mittelalter ein bedeutender Wallfahrtsort. Sie befindet sich unterhalb des Saint-Pilon auf dem Gemeindegebiet von Plan-d’Aups-Sainte-Baume.<br />
