Nightingales and Romeo and Juliet in Good Omens S2E6

I’ve been thinking about the many symbolisms of the nightingale since the end of S1, but especially since the whole “That’s the point. No nightingales” conversation between Crowley and Aziraphale at the end of S2. Nightingales feature in a lot of literary texts symbolizing a whole bunch of things, but I found this particularly interesting:

In Romeo and Juliet (you know, the play where two star-crossed lovers from rivalling families try to overcome all boundaries in the name of love), there is a scene (Act 3, Scene 5) where Romeo and Juliet have a conversation (or a little row/misunderstanding) about nightingales and larks. It is the night/morning after their secret marriage (!) and Romeo has to leave before the morning comes. Otherwise he will be in great danger as he might get caught by Juliet’s relatives. Juliet, who does not want him to leave yet, argues that the bird that they hear singing outside the window is a nightingale. Since nightingales sing by night, she hopes that this will convince Romeo that it is still night and thus make him stay a bit longer. Romeo, on the other hand, is convinced that it is a lark, a bird of dawn, that is singing, which would mean that he has to leave soon. When Romeo suddenly states that he does not care if he will be killed or not and that he wants to stay with Juliet, Juliet caves in and explains that the bird they hear is actually a lark and that Romeo has to flee.

So, a few things to point out here:

It is the night after their “secret marriage”

The nightingale is a night bird whose song indicates darkness and a world asleep, which protects forbidden love from being found out

Juliet does not want to face the harsh reality of the day approaching, which is why she tries to convince Romeo that they are hearing a nightingale while, in fact, a lark is singing, indicating danger

When her lover unexpectedly declares that he wants to stay with her, even at the risk of losing his own life, she tells the truth in an attempt to usher him out to save his life

Okay, back to Good Omens:

It is the morning after The Dance™ (you know, the one Aziraphale organized only to be able to make a move on Crowley and dance with him; the one during which Crowley tried to open Aziraphale’s eyes to the dangerous situation they were in while Aziraphale refused to give up on his little fantasy-bubble of love and romance). Aziraphale tries to convince Crowley to go back to heaven with him. We don’t know exactly what went on in the conversation between him and the Metatron, but there was probably some threat involved, which means Aziraphale thinks that they will both be safe(r) in heaven. In a way, he is the Juliet in the situation, trying to make his Romeo stay/come with him by convincing him that the nightingale is still singing – that they can still be safe that way. Like the night before, he does not (or at least does not seem to) realize the danger they are in and will be in and that heaven will never let them be “an us”. He does not want to part with Crowley. Crowley, on the other hand, knows exactly that going to heaven is not an option for him and he understands that they are in danger. His statement, “that’s the point. No nightingales,” means that the protection of the metaphorical night, the indifference of heaven and hell concerning their situationship, is over, and that they can either flee together or have to part. Aziraphale, judging by his expression, seems to understand what Crowley is implying here. This seems to be where his parallels with Juliet end, since he does not agree with Crowley in the end. However, there is a version of events that would make his actions similar to Juliet’s in the end: Assuming that Aziraphale knows that one of the two options to keep Crowley safe(r) is out since he knows that Crowley will never agree to going back to heaven, his only other option is to ensure Crowley leaves without him (and without the impression that he needs to save Aziraphale and their relationship). He does this by driving him out if the bookshop.

In any case, the nightingale seems to symbolize the temporary safety of their forbidden love, and Crowley’s statement at the end signals the end of this precious period, and that they must part (for now).

Still not over the fact that these two muppets associate the Ritz, park and nightingales with them

They sat in their Ritz enjoying each other’s company and thought ah yes this is our song and then whenever they hear the birds singing they think of each other

They know each other feel the same because Crowley brings them up as his last hope to make Aziraphale stay

It feels like when he says - hear that - no nightingales - he’s saying no ‘us’

What a love story

What an incredible love story

Not certain if this style works for me, but I had fun experimenting. There's plenty of other techniques I would love to try, but exams. Drawing, sadly, has to wait.

#and that's a nice way to say I doubt I'll post much because I have 18 tests in the span of a month #and many other things i have to do #with the emphasis on have #I could sacrifice my sleep time to draw #except there's no sleep time to begin with #nightingales #fanart #artists on tumblr #digital #good omens #aziraphale #crowley #if you squint you see which bird represents who #also this is a few days old but i forgot to post it

For the 'Nightingales' drawing prompt from the GO Reference Library discord server. <3

I love wings. They can be a pain, yes, but still so fun.

Inevitably turned them into birbs too. Honestly, its impossible not to. I picture Azi having curly/fluffy feathers like Frillback Pigeons, only even more of an explosion of floof.

You're looking that up now, you're welcome.

Brynjolf: Why'd you agree to this date?

Karliah: My boyfriend died a few years ago, so I’m just trying to get back into the dating scene, really.

Brynjolf: Damn, that’s sad.

Brynjolf: We should use an Ouija board to get his permission to smash.

Karliah: By Nocturnal, what is wrong with you?!

Um guys

Why did Crowley say No Nightingales? Since when was that a thing between them?

WE audience heard the song at the Ritz yes, THEY have never mentioned it ever. Not as much as bebop of Crowley obviously listening to Queen in the car.

(Also side note they’re so fond of the music they listen to)

So I’m curious, when did the nightingale sing become important to them? For enough of a reference

I’m not a writer by any means but had this little thought pop into my head earlier so wanted to note it down…

It’s the final scene of season 3.

We see Aziraphale getting ready in a traditional wedding tux, fixing his bow tie and straightening his cummerbund and looking happy and content.

He walks through the kitchen and removes a card from the fridge door and walks outside.

There we see a beautiful garden covered in all types of plants and flowers.

*Aziraphale* : Crowley, are you nearly ready my dear? Wha- *tut* You’re not even changed yet. And you’re absolutely filthy!

Crowley turns to Aziraphale covered in dirt from planting some new flowers. Pats his hands over his trousers to remove some of the dirt.

*Crowley*: Ready for what?

*Aziraphale* holding up and waving the card he picked from the fridge : We can’t be late

*Crowley* Oh right

Still patting dirt away but with a miracled whoosh becomes completely clean and dressed in a sleek black suit and jacket embroidered with little roses.

*Crowley* : There, all ready to go.

*Aziraphale*: Good. Well, (gulp) very nice. 😏 You clean up rather well.

*Crowley*: You’re looking rather sharp yourself. Right come on then, Angel. Like you said, we can’t be late.

They start walking away from the quaint little cottage and garden towards the Bentley parked in the driveway.

*Crowley*: So d’ya reckon there’ll be any dancing at this thing?

*Azirphale*: At ‘this thing’?! I rather guess there will be dancing at Maggie and Nina’s Wedding. At least I do hope so…I’ve been practicing.

*Crowley*: Yeah? Maybe you can show me your steps. It’s not the gavotte is it?

*Aziraphale*: It’s not, no. But oh how wonderful if there is a chance to do so tonight…it has been so long. Besides, what’s wrong with the gavotte?

*Crowley*: Everything is wrong with the gavotte.

*Aziraphale*: Oh you just get jealous….

More back and forth banter while they get into car and drive off.

We then see a couple of nightingales singing away in their garden’s apple tree.

A Nancy Ekholm Burkert Feathursday

We begin the first #Feathursday of the new year with these illustrations by noted Milwaukee children’s-book illustrator Nancy Ekholm Burkert from Hans Christian Andersen’s story The Nightingale, translated by Eva Le Gallienne and published by Harper & Row in 1965.

The story, originally published in 1843, concerns an emperor of China and his beloved nightingale. When the emperor first encounters the bird, he is surprised that such beautiful notes would come from such a plain bird, but falls in love with the bird and its abilities. Soon, however, the emperor is gifted a bejeweled mechanical nightingale, which displaces the real one and eventually the nightingale is banished from court. A few years later, as the emperor lies dying, the loyal nightingale comes to visit and sing for its old friend. The song is so enchanting that even death stays its hand, the emperor recovers, and the strong bond between emperor and nightingale is restored.

We are humored that Andersen begins his tale by stating the obvious: “In China, you know, the Emperor is Chinese and all his subjects are Chinese too.” Burkert’s usual distinctive, intricate, and detailed style is present here, but this time her illustrations are strongly influenced by her particular fascination with Sung period Chinese painting. The color illustrations are presented in the book as traditional Chinee scroll paintings.

Nancy Ekholm Burkert has won numerous awards for her illustrations, including the Caldecott, New York Times Notable Book, Boston Globe-Horn Book, and Wisconsin Library Association Wisconsin Notable Authors. In addition, the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art featured an exhibit of Burkert's work in 2003. She is a long-time Milwaukee-area resident and her husband Robert Burkert (1930-2019), was a long-time professor of fine arts here at UW-Milwaukee (1956-1993).

I wanted to write "nightingales" in a tag, I misspelled it as "nightingaled" and I sadly thought: "well, Crowley and Aziraphale certainly got unnightingaled"
