oakfarm: The mysterious island, Jules Verne (Default)
I don’t speak French, but the end of this poem by Maurice Rollinat, seems like a parody of fin de siecle decadence: “To smoke opium from a child's cranium with your feet nonchalant resting against a tiger”. .
--Oh ! fumer de l'opium dans un crâne d'enfant,
Les pieds nonchalamment appuyés sur un tigre !
To play a weird game of three degrees of separation. Here’s photos from the singing revolution in the Baltic states. It’s filmed by the dad of a member of the small local, left wing party, my physics teacher is a member of. The story is that the dad in question was band from the Soviet Union for five years, for filming that. And he just said that he didn’t think Soviet would last five more years. He was right
About muscadine grapes. I have read vineyards spray a lot against "Downy mildew", a fungal disease. The good news is that American grapes are immune to "Downy mildew". So if I had more money than to know what to do with I would buy a vineyard in Champagne and grow muscadine grapes to make wine, without fungicide.
