Pas de noir pour Monet!
Perhaps as heroic in its own way was Clemenceau's patient encouragement and support of his good friend Monet during the long years when the painter was struggling to produce his epic Water Lilies. It was Clemenceau who, after the death of Monet's beloved Alice, cajoled and prodded his friend to undertake the enormous project. "Go ahead and stop procrastinating," Clemenceau told him. "You can still do it, so do it."
In the years that followed, even throughout the war, Clemenceau provided Monet with essential moral as well as practical support, helping to negotiate a future home for the panels (at first planned for a free-standing building on the grounds of the Hôtel Biron, and then in the ground floor of the Musée de l'Orangerie), as well as making possible Monet's eventual donation of the entire work to the state. In time, Clemenceau was also successful in pressing Monet to undergo operations for his cataracts.
As Monet's health ebbed, Clemenceau visited Giverny ever more frequently, encouraging his friend to eat and to walk in his beloved garden. Shortly before Monet's death, Clemenceau was still wont to buck him up with advice such as, "Stand up straight, hold your head up, and kick your slipper up as far as the stars." But the Tiger was gently humorous with Monet as well, calling him his "poor old crustacean".
Monet died on December 5, 1926, and Clemenceau was with him at the end. Later, at the funeral, he replaced the black flag draped over the coffin with a flower-patterned cloth, with the words, "No black for Monet!"

This got me laughing hard
"‘The peacemakers walked down to the terrace overlooking the great formal gardens as the fountains spurted into the air. Wilson was nearly pushed into a fountain. Lloyd George was angry and disheveled, by a squad of soldiers. ‘A similar thing would never have happened in England,’ he told an Italian diplomat. ‘And if it had happened, someone have had to pay.’ Afterward Llyod George, much to his annoyance, was made to sit down and write a letter to the king announcing that the peace had been concluded."
-From the book Paris 1919 by Margaret MacMillan

Smile, Smile, Smile
- Wilfred Owen (1893-1918)
Head to limp head, the sunk-eyed wounded scanned
Yesterday’s Mail; the casualties (typed small)
And (large) Vast Booty from our Latest Haul.
Also, they read of Cheap Homes, not yet planned,
‘For’, said the paper, ‘when this war is done
The men’s first instinct will be making homes.
Meanwhile their foremost need is aerodromes,
It being certain war has but begun.
Peace would do wrong to our undying dead, —
The sons we offered might regret they died
If we got nothing lasting in their stead.
We must be solidly indemnified.
Though all be worthy Victory which all bought,
We rulers sitting in this ancient spot
Would wrong our very selves if we forgot
The greatest glory will be theirs who fought,
Who kept this nation in integrity.’
Nation? — The half-limbed readers did not chafe
But smiled at one another curiously
Like secret men who know their secret safe.
(This is the thing they know and never speak,
That England one by one had fled to France,
Not many elsewhere now, save under France.)
Pictures of these broad smiles appear each week,
And people in whose voice real feeling rings
Say: How they smile! They’re happy now, poor things.
#ok! context for this one:#ofc the title comes from the marching song “pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and…#the mail refers to and English newspaper (daily mail) which would post photos of wounded soldiers smiling captioned “happy! “#sorry about typos but I don’t want to re type it#Owen also references a speech by George Clemenceau (of France) who refused Austrian negotiations stating peace is#“a betrayal to my fighting men#the minister of labour in the uk also stated in the daily mail what Owen repeats in lines 4-6#I could say more#maybe I’ll post my analysis of some of these poems one day#poetry#ww1#war poetry#remembrance#wilfred owen#smile smile smile#daily mail

"Les cimetières sont pleins de gens irremplaçables, qui ont tous été remplacés." Georges Clemenceau
#graveyard#cemetery#france#i mean no disrespect i just go there to keep them company#most of these graves belong to people born in the 1800's#i take pictures of old graves that can't find family to renew their license#in case they destroy them#most of them they keep because they're really old and hystorical#bottom left i hope they will keep too they put the little card to seek family#my phone lens is cracked so the ghost at the bottom right on some pics is just that
