There was a legend that a mystic or Louis himself had an apparition that he needed to Consecrate his kingdom to The Immaculate Heart of Mary which he failed to do....These anarchists tend to destroy their own for power. Robespierre went to the block too! We also have that famous painting: "The Death of Marat"....................Thanks for your fine work!

Was Australia a benevolent conquest, then?

Yes, French's six verbs whose past take être. Dont arriver. What a fantastic narration: on y est, lorsqu'il dit qu'on y est.

The scene is the French grammarian's example of how French and English differ in one particular respect, whilst both adhering to an undeniable logic: tout le monde se lève le chapeau: https://endlesschain.substack.com/p/every-little-counts.

I've considered Scott and Oates here: https://endlesschain.substack.com/p/i-am-just-going-outside-and-may-be. The South Pole may be an awful place, but the North Pole may yet be even awfuller.

Again, a super essay, thanks.

Thanks Graham! Not benevolent, no. I decided to leave that off the table here to keep it brief. I recently read Richard Flanagan’s Question 7. Highly recommended!

There are two reasons I love Substack: one is all the great stuff I get to read here from really interesting blogs like yours. The other is fantastic book recommendations, to read off Substack. With Question 7, the two come together almost uncannily.
