DAY 100

Poem from “Max Fry. Book of fire pages”

[Translation]

What is wind singing about

In my empty heart ?

It’s singing that fire

Burned all in my heart.

What is wind singing about

In my empty heart ?

It’s singing that ice

Has frozen my heart.

What is wind singing about

In my empty heart ?

It’s singing that fire and ice

Together now in my heart .

Reading

Histoire des Cent-Jours by Charles-Éloi Vial, 2021.

I like to read about the 100 Days because it is so bizarre. This book is good, I like it. My reading French (speaking is quite negligible) is "okay" and I am translating some paragraphs.

I often focus on the Flight of the Eagle since that is the most remarkable and romantic part of the story. But did Napoleon ever think, "How am I really going to re-take over the government?" Did he think he could re-establish his Empire? His Empire was already obsolete in the minds of the populace. He had become kind of an historical figure of the past. Many former adherents wanted nothing to do with him. Many were extremely skeptical (for good reason) that he could remain in power. It was inevitable that there would be a European coalition against him, and France was completely tired of wars. Many people were jaded and indifferent to his return, merely waiting to see what would happen.

I'm still reading it and have a long way to go....

“He [Napoleon] remained deeply attached to the refusal of the Ancien Régime, to the refusal of national degradation in the face of the Bourbons and aristocratic Europe. It is from this refusal that he will draw the strength to think and set up this powerful resistance movement which will be the return from the island of Elba in March 1815. This is why the forces of the Holy Alliance reject him, ostracizing him from humanity as an ‘anarchist’. He was in his time ‘the revolutionary emperor’ because his conquest was transformative for the social order.”

Just watched the episode of Leverage where Nate chooses not to kill his notorious conman of a father and instead forces him to leave town and sail back to Galway and i gotta say.... you know all those "cozy murder mystery" series where some sleepy rural town is inexplicably besieged by murders? I always used to wonder, what the hell is going down in Badger-upon-Twyne that's causing so much damn crime, but now I know. This is presented in the show like some kind, honorable thing, like oh, yes, I'm sure ol' Jimmy "Felonies Georg" Ford will stop doing crime once he's back in Ireland - why on earth would you assume that!! You've just unleashed this hardened Bostonian gangster upon the innocent sheep and also people of County Galway! Like, don't get me wrong, Galwegians, I'm not trying to say you're pushovers or anything, but i once saw a news article about the police trying to 'clamp down on organized crime' in the city and it said they were on the hunt for a dangerous gang consisting of *checks notes*.... four people. Jimmy Ford is going to own Ballynahinch castle by the end of the week. He's going to start smuggling in cocaine on the little dolphin tour boats. He's going to wreak more havoc on the local ecosystem than an outdoor cat on a nature reserve. YOU DIDN'T SOLVE IT, NATE. YOU HEAR ME, NATE? PEEPAW'S ON HIS WAY TO MAKING GALWAY THE MURDER CAPITAL OF EUROPE.
