I'm so glad you posted this. This was my favorite part of the film when I first saw it on the big screen. There's nothing like the sound of that symphony beginning, as he is sitting there on the rocks - watching the clouds go over the mountains. That was genius! If anyone knows where I can get this piece of music by the way, the one from THIS film (not just any old composer), please let me know.

Well, Slovakia has the Tatra. I think rasticsk is right, the landscape looks a lot like the High Tatra in Slovakia.

Your comment brings back memories. We here in the Netherlands, as you definitely know, have the Barnett Newman. Typical : 'Who's afraid... (III)', and when you're standing in front of it in the Stedelijk Museum, you are really 'belittled' by the sheer dimensions of that canvas. It has that sublime quality too. BTW, I liked those latter two also, he he. "O Mort, vieux capitain, il est temps, levons l'ancre" ('Fleurs du mal')

(..and to conclude coherently) Gothic art does it for me, & there's much Gothic in Poe. In art Piranesi's Imaginary Prisons are Sublime for me, & some Caspar David Friedrich or Arnold Bocklin. The music of The Velvet Underground or Joy Division, or the architecture of Milan Cathedral, Notre Dame & St Pancras station in London. Opiates can make you see & feel things like that (although I'd not recommend it) and so back to all I mentioned before, as in these great scenes from Herzog's Nosferatu...
