THE regard which every one has for the old French provinces is by no means inexplicable. Out of them grew the present solidarity of republican France, but in spite of it the old limits of demarcation are not yet expunged. One and all retain to-day their individual characteristics, manners, and customs, and also a certain subconscious atmosphere. Many are the casual travellers who know Normandy and Brittany, at least know them by name and perhaps something more, but how many of those who annually skim across France, in summer to Switzerland and in winter to the Riviera or to Italy, there to live in seven-franca-day pensions, and drink a particularly vile brand of tea, know where Brittany leaves off and Normandy begins, or have more than the vaguest of vague notions as to whether the charming little provincial capital of Nantes, on the Loire, is in Brittany or in Poitou. A recollection of their school-day knowledge of history will help them on the latter point, but geography will come in and puzzle them still more. There are many French writers, and painters for that matter, who have made these provinces famous. Napoleon, perhaps, set the fashion, when he wrote, in 1786, that eulogy beginning: ¿It is now six or seven years since I left my native country.¿ More familiar is the ¿Native Land¿ of Lamartine. Camille Flammarion wrote ¿My Cradle,¿ meaning Champagne; Dumas wrote of Villers-Cotterets, and Chateaubriand and Renan of Brittany; but head and shoulders above them all stand out Frederic Mistral and his fellows of the Félibres at Avignon and Arles.

Campen ist toll, es ist für viele zu einer bevorzugten Freizeit- und sogar Lebensform geworden. Am schönsten ist es, mit dem Wohnmobil zu reisen. Aber wenn man dieses Buch gelesen ist, weiß man: am allerschönsten ist es zusammen mit zwei Französischen Bulldoggen namens Odin und Frieda. Die beiden berichten hier von Reisen durch Schleswig-Holstein und nach Schweden, wobei der herrlich skurrile Blick, den die beiden Vierbeiner auf die Menschen haben, belustigt und ihre Fähigkeit, ihre Umwelt mit allen Sinnen zu erkunden, das Campingerlebnis noch intensiver macht. Natürlich erfährt man auch viel von den bereisten Ländern. Also: Bullys an Bord und los geht's!

Les gémissements poétiques de ce siècle ne sont que des sophismes. Les premiers principes doivent être hors de discussion. J¿accepte Euripide et Sophocle ; mais je n¿accepte pas Eschyle. Ne faites pas preuve de manque des convenances les plus élémentaires et de mauvais goût envers le créateur. Repoussez l¿incrédulité : vous me ferez plaisir. Il n¿existe pas deux genres de poésies ; il n¿en est qüune. Il existe une convention peu tacite entre l¿auteur et le lecteur, par laquelle le premier s¿intitule malade, et accepte le second comme garde-malade. C¿est le poète qui console l¿humanité ! Les rôles sont intervertis arbitrairement. Je ne veux pas être flétri de la qualification de poseur. Je ne laisserai pas des Mémoires. La poésie n¿est pas la tempête, pas plus que le cyclone. C¿est un fleuve majestueux et fertile. Ce n¿est qüen admettant la nuit physiquement, qüon est parvenu à la faire passer moralement. Ô Nuits d¿Young ! vous m¿avez causé beaucoup de migraines !

Les singularités judiciaires sont nombreuses et variées au moyen âge, et souvent les magistrats interviennent dans des circonstances si bizarres, que nous avons peine à comprendre, nos jours, comment ces graves organes de la justice ont pu raisonnablement figurer dans de telles affaires. Toutefois notre but n¿est pas de critiquer ici des sages plus ou moins absurdes, mais d¿en constater simplement l¿existence. Nous bornons notre rôle { raconter les faits, sauf au lecteur à en tirer lui-même les conséquences. Plusieurs siècles nous séparent de l¿époque dont nous cherchons { étudier les m¿urs et les idées, qui forment avec les nôtres de si étranges disparates ; aussi n¿est-ce qüaprès de scrupuleuses recherches faites dans les ouvrages des jurisconsultes et des historiens les plus respectables, que nous avons osé présenter cette rapide esquisse.

Il était près de huit heures lorsque Michel Berthier Lautrec rentra. Sa femme commençait à s¿inquiéter.« Pourquoi ne vous êtes-vous pas mis à table sans moi ? dit Michel avec humeur. ¿ Nous avons préféré t¿attendre, dit Mme Berthier Lautrec de sa voix douce. D¿ailleurs, les enfants n¿avaient pas faim, ni moi non plus. ¿ N¿importe ! Une fois pour toutes, je t¿ai dit que je ne voulais pas qüon m¿attendît.¿ Bien, mon ami. On ne t¿attendra plus. Mon petit Henri, veux-tu sonner pour qüon serve ? » Ce n¿était pas la première fois que pareille scène de ménage se passait chez les Berthier-Lautrec. Depuis quelque temps, le caractère de Michel, plutôt gai, s¿était aigri. Presque chaque soir il rapportait à la maison un front assombri, dînait sans prononcer une parole, puis, le café pris, il se levait de table et allait s¿enfermer dans son cabinet, où il restait à veiller jusqüà une heure avancée de la nuit.

Every individual must look within themselves to decide what will make their life truly spectacular. For the author it is all about travel: the excitement of discovery and learning along the way and capturing those moments in an equally spectacular image.This book tells the story of the author's travels throughout his life with an emphasis on his love of photography and the national parks. It traces his journey from childhood, when he first experienced the time-honored road trip with his parents, through his military service, overseas and in the U.S., along with his many years in corporate America, each presenting him with new and unique travel opportunities. The wake-up call of a cancer diagnosis set him on the path to his most exciting adventures yet. He left his job, downsized his life, and moved into an RV to make travel his full-time focus rather than a thing he did only on vacation. He set a goal to visit and photograph all fifty-nine (at the time) national parks. Well on his way toward this goal, he experienced a major setback after an early-morning fire destroyed his RV and all his possessions, forcing him to rebuild his life to stay on the path to finishing his goal.

This strange, topsy-turvey country, not content with having fruit with stones on the outside, has made the unique experiment of handing over its government to its peasantry! Other lands have at times fallen under the sway of the hoi-polloi, but this has always been temporary, and the result of some hysterical upheaval. But in Australia this has not been the case. The electors calmly and deliberately voted the Labour Party into power in April, 1910, and, since then, two of the six ridiculous States that this country of four and a-half millions has divided itself into have also calmly and deliberately decided, by majorities, to entrust their national guidance to butchers and bakers and candlestick-makers. That any body of people should do this¿even in a country where every man and woman, irrespective of education, wealth, or social position has a vote¿seems unintelligible to the English visitor. It certainly was unintelligible to me at first. It grew more of a mystery when I saw and heard several of the Labour leaders. Then I saw and heard the Liberal leaders, and I no longer wondered.
