For today's #FragmentFriday, a leaf from a glossed Gospel of John, containing the text of John 7.25-39, written in northern France, probably Paris, in the 1200s. The Bible text is written in a formal Gothic script in the center column, with the gloss in a smaller script around it. There are also interlinear glosses between the lines of the Bible. (Manuscript Fragment Collection, Ms. Coll. 591, Folder 18)

Âčâ°âŸ a dingy truck stop after ten hours on the road
bucky x buck x josie road trip vibes
(-: had fun with this



/ / /
"Papa," Josie said, pushing her foot against the back of the passenger seat where John was sat. Gale looked in the rearview mirror, offering a gentle chiding for kicking the seat- his husband tilting his head back to look at her.
"Hm baby?"
"Why arenât we goinâ to Wis-con-sin in an airplane?"
John hoped she never grew out of the way she sounded out long words. And shared her current sentiment.
He laughed lightly to himself, reaching across the console to massage the back of Galeâs neck. "That's a question for daddy to answer I think,"
"Because daddy is trying to save us some money."
John hummed- half because he found Galeâs playful indignant tone with him endearing, and half because he knew the real reason.
âShe had a hard time on the plane last time, donât wanna put her through that again.â Heâd said across the kitchen table from him when they sat down to hash everything out.
And it wasnât an off base assertion- their trip to New York six months ago had been somewhat of a disaster in regards to the travel aspect. He wasnât exactly itching to relive it either- and dreaded seeing his daughter upset. But there was a flip side.
âSo next time we go out east weâre gonna drive for two days?â John asked softly as he leaned back in his chair. âGotta push her a little Gale, itâll get better the more she does it.â
Gale chewed on his lip, digging the ball of his foot into the kitchen floor. âOnly one day of drivinâ to get to Wisconsin.â He said after a minute, looking at something on his laptop. âAnd itâd be cheaper than three plane tickets.â
So John let him have this, under the agreement that heâd be quite a bit more hard pressed to road trip to New York.
Josie tossed the topic as quickly as sheïżœïżœïżœd raised it, leaning forward to get as close to them as she could from her seat.
"Didja know I'm gonna be six soon?"
"I sure did,â Gale said, tapping his fingers on that steering wheel. âYou makin' any big plans?"
"Mhm.â She replied, dropping back against her seat to look out the window. âGonna go to coll-ege."
John didnât know if he liked the sound of that so soon, and saw what looked like the same thought cross over Galeâs face. He chuckled, lifting his eyes towards her in the mirror.
"Already? What are you gonna study peanut?"
"Ummmm," Josie started, tilting her head. "Horses, and and rabbits, and birds,"
"You know Uncle Rosie knows a lot about birds, you should talk to him about that." John said, glancing back towards Gale- concerned when he noticed that he seemed deflated.
By the end of the hour the five-year-old had chatterboxed herself right to sleep, John reaching over to give Gale's thigh a little squeeze.
"You okay? We can switch off at the next rest stop,"
Gale didnât say anything for a minute, taking a little breath in like he always did when he was trying not to cry.
"She's gonna go to college someday, gonna leave," He said, voice wobbly.
John moved his hand back to the nape of his neck, rubbing his thumb there in a circle.
âWell she's not goin' when she's six at least." He said lightly, his own emotions about the reality of what awaited them in about twelve years starting to coil in his throat.
Gale went quiet again, for so long that John moved his hand to reach forward and turn the radio back on.
Until Gale broke the silence.
"I want another one."
John stopped mid-motion, his eyes widening as he glanced at the small blue screen of the radio display. He leaned back slowly in his seat, feeling his husband's eyes on him.
"You do?"
Galeâs nod in affirmation answered that.
It wasnât something John was opposed to- heâd had his own moments of thinking about it, and almost bringing it up to Gale himself.
There was just a piece to it all that he felt less certain about.
"You thinkinâ of doing it the same way as last time, or,â He started, and the way Galeâs eyes seemed to focus on the road ahead gave him a feeling as to where his answer was headed.
âI- yâ know, maybe I just,â He started. âWe missed so much.â
And there it was- the same stipulation that kept John up at night if he let him.
On the one hand, embarrassingly, the thought of an infant- of being responsible for someone from scratch like that, terrified him.
But on the other, every little thing he realized they missed out on with Josie made his heart ache. Having about seven photos from the first four years of their daughterâs life just wasnât how it was supposed to be- he thought on occasion.
Before he could find the words to respond to Gale they were pulling into a rest stop- and suddenly feeling suffocated in the car, John couldn't get out fast enough.
Opening the back door, he gently shook Josie's foot to rouse her from sleep. She groaned when she realized she was being woken up, moving away from him with a huff.
"I know sweetheart," He said softly, undoing her seatbelt and helping her down. "Go can right back to sleep in a minute."
The rest stop was dimly lit, the only source of light coming from the fluorescents that were on their last leg overhead. When Josie had washed her hands and they were about to head back out, she stopped- sleepy head drooping against the back of John's legs.
Obliging to her wordless ask- he scooped her up, pausing for a moment to brush the hair out of her face.
He ran the back of his hand along her cheek, it hitting him suddenly that she looked closer to her sixth birthday than she had before. Looked less like the little baby faced four-year-old that became his daughter overnight- and more like a big kid in a way that made a lump form in his throat.
When he made it back to the car with her Gale wasnât in the driver's seat anymore. He was standing outside it, phone to his face- looking pale.
John got Josie back into her car seat and shut the door before circling back around the front of the car to him.
"Thank you Natalie- okay, John's here, I'm gonna call you back."
Natalie, John thought, and froze. The only Natalie they knew was their social worker from Josie's adoption.
"Why's Natalie calling?" He blurted out the second Gale hung up.
Dragging a hand over his face and pushing it through his hair, Gale tried to steady his breath. But his bottom lip trembled, John feeling more nauseas with every second that it took him to start talking.
When he finally did talk, the words that left his mouth made him sick all the same.
"Josie's mom had another baby- another one she can't keep."
"What?"
The utterance flew out of his mouth before he could form a more coherent response, and he felt his own eyes widen.
They'd never had any contact with the woman since her rights had been terminated by the time they were in Josie's life. The last they'd been told, over a year ago now, was that she was facing child neglect charges.
Despite his efforts to focus, he struggled to fully comprehend Gale's words as he continued to talk.
"Natalie said she called us first because we have Josie. The baby came early, heâs got- she said heâs stable now but-â
"We're turnin' around, right?"John interjected, feeling like it wasn't even a question he needed to ask given the conversation they'd been having all of ten fucking minutes ago.
Gale paused like he was waiting for John to take it back.
But when he didn't, he nodded- pinching the bridge of his nose as he did. "Yeah- yeah of course we're turning around."

IcĂŽne du cinĂ©ma français, Alain Delon sâest Ă©teint ce dimanche 18 aoĂ»t, Ă 88 ans. De sa rĂ©vĂ©lation sur le grand Ă©cran au dĂ©but des annĂ©es 1960 Ă son CĂ©sar du meilleur acteur, retour sur sa carriĂšre en sept films emblĂ©matiques qui ont campĂ© son style.
Il Ă©tait lâun des acteurs qui a enregistrĂ© le plus dâentrĂ©es en France, totalisant plus de 136 millions de spectateurs avec lâensemble des films qui lâont mis en scĂšne. Alain Delon est mort ce dimanche 18 aoĂ»t 2024, Ă lâĂąge de 88 ans, ont annoncĂ© ses enfants. La star du grand Ă©cran a marquĂ© le cinĂ©ma français de son empreinte avec 90 longs-mĂ©trages, qui ont façonnĂ© sa rĂ©putation de lĂ©gende et son style caractĂ©ristique. En voici sept particuliĂšrement marquants.
« Christine » (1958) : sa rencontre avec Romy Schneider Alain Delon nâa que 23 ans et a fait ses premiers pas au cinĂ©ma un an plus tĂŽt, dans Quand la femme sâen mĂȘle dâYves AllĂ©gret, lorsque lâactrice allemande Romy Schneider le choisit sur photo pour tourner avec elle dans Christine, de Pierre-Gaspard Huit. Il y incarne le lieutenant Franz Lobheiner, amant dâune riche baronne autrichienne dont il veut rompre, qui tombe follement amoureux de la charmante Christine Weiring, jouĂ©e par la jeune star du cinĂ©ma qui nâa alors que 20 ans. La premiĂšre rencontre entre les deux acteurs, Ă la descente de lâavion, deux mois plus tĂŽt, nâĂ©tait pourtant pas des plus concluantes. La barriĂšre de la langue les sĂ©pare et le duo ne sâentend absolument pas. Ils finiront pourtant par tomber amoureux et former un couple connu comme « les plus beaux fiancĂ©s dâEurope ».
« Plein soleil » (1960) : la rĂ©vĂ©lation dâun « jeune premier » Deux ans plus tard, Alain Delon est choisi par le rĂ©alisateur RenĂ© ClĂ©ment pour jouer dans une adaptation du roman Monsieur Ripley, de Patricia Highsmith. Alors quâil devait jouer le deuxiĂšme rĂŽle masculin, il parvient Ă convaincre lâĂ©quipe de rĂ©alisation quâil serait plus adaptĂ© dans le costume du personnage principal, Tom Ripley, qui colle plus Ă son caractĂšre un peu « voyou ». Avec ce rĂŽle, Alain Delon se rĂ©vĂšle sur le grand Ă©cran et pose les jalons de ce qui deviendra son style, charismatique et un peu rebelle. « Personne ne savait qui jâĂ©tais. Le film qui a fait le tour du monde, a Ă©tĂ© la base de ma carriĂšre », avait dâailleurs reconnu lâacteur.
« Le GuĂ©pard » (1963) : la palme dâor Ă Cannes Alain Delon y incarne TancrĂšde Falconeri, le neveu du prince Fabrice de Salina (Burt Lancaster) qui se lie dâamour avec une bourgeoise, Angelica Sedara (Claudia Cardinale), dans une Italie du milieu du XIXe siĂšcle marquĂ©e par le dĂ©clin de lâaristocratie traditionnelle. AdaptĂ© du roman Ă©ponyme de Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, cette fresque obtient la Palme dâor au Festival de Cannes en 1963 et devient un succĂšs commercial et critique dĂšs sa sortie. Alain Delon, au sommet de son Ă©lĂ©gance (moustache fine et raie sur le cĂŽtĂ©), y est lâincarnation de la noblesse. Le couple quâil forme avec Claudia Cardinale entre dans lâhistoire du cinĂ©ma. Le film comporte notamment une scĂšne de bal devenue iconique, qui marque la victoire de la bourgeoisie sur la noblesse et oĂč les trajectoires du trio principal trouvent leur aboutissement.
« Le SamouraĂŻ » (1967) : la consĂ©cration du « genre » Delon Cette premiĂšre collaboration avec Jean-Pierre Melville donne lâun des chefs-dâĆuvre de la filmographie de Delon, qui incarne le tueur solitaire Jef Costello. Fantomatique, inexpressif (son personnage nâa quasiment aucune rĂ©plique), obsĂ©dĂ© par la maĂźtrise, avec son regard bleu froid, son imper et son chapeau : ce personnage est Ă la base du mythe Delon. LâesthĂ©tique de ce polar glacial influencera nombre dâautres cinĂ©astes, dont John Woo ou Quentin Tarantino. La collaboration Delon-Melville accouchera dâun autre chef-dâĆuvre, Le Cercle rouge (1970, avec Bourvil), avant Un flic (1972).
« La Piscine » (1969) : les retrouvailles avec Romy Schneider Mi-drame, mi-polar, ce film de Jacques Deray marque les retrouvailles entre Alain Delon et Romy Schneider, avec qui il a formĂ© un couple mythique du cinĂ©ma français. Il nây aura pas de retour de flamme entre eux mais la carriĂšre de lâactrice allemande, alors en demi-teinte, redĂ©colle. Plus de 3 millions de spectateurs plongent dans la piscine au-dessus de Saint-Tropez, frĂ©quentĂ©e par le couple mais aussi par Maurice Ronet et Jane Birkin. Delon dira plus tard : « Ce film, je ne peux plus le regarder. Trop douloureux de revoir Romy et Maurice (morts en 1982 et 1983, N.D.L.R) rire aux Ă©clats. »
« Borsalino » (1970) : son duo iconique avec Belmondo Câest encore grĂące Ă Jacques Deray quâAlain Delon connaĂźt un vrai succĂšs populaire avec Borsalino, oĂč il forme un tandem iconique avec Jean-Paul Belmondo. Le film, histoire de deux jeunes voyous qui tentent de devenir les caĂŻds de la pĂšgre marseillaise, marque le point dâorgue du duo entre Delon et son rival, mais aussi ami. « Heureusement quâil Ă©tait lĂ . Ni lâun ni lâautre nâaurait fait la mĂȘme carriĂšre sans lâautre. Il y avait une compĂ©tition mais aussi une sorte de stimulation entre nous. Ăa mâaurait vraiment emmerdĂ© quâil ne soit pas lĂ . Quâest-ce que jâaurais foutu sans lui pendant cinquante ans ? » Le succĂšs est au rendez-vous : le long mĂ©trage enregistre plus de 4,7 millions dâentrĂ©es et une suite, Borsalino and Co, sort au cinĂ©ma quatre ans plus tard.
« Notre histoire » (1984) : son seul CĂ©sar du meilleur acteur MalgrĂ© son immense carriĂšre, Alain Delon nâa dĂ©crochĂ© quâune seule fois le CĂ©sar du meilleur acteur obtenu en 1985 pour son rĂŽle dans Notre histoire, de Bertrand Blier, sorti lâannĂ©e prĂ©cĂ©dente. Cette comĂ©die dramatique, parfois absurde, parle de solitude et dâamour, autour de la rencontre dans un train, entre Robert, la quarantaine fatiguĂ©e, et une jeune femme dĂ©sabusĂ©e, incarnĂ©e par Nathalie Baye. Le public ne suivra pas, mais la critique a majoritairement aimĂ© ce film dans lequel Delon a pris des risques pour camper un personnage fragile, un ivrogne, bien loin de celui quâil interprĂ©tait dans le SamouraĂŻ.
Alain Delon, qui avait commencĂ© sa carriĂšre Ă la fin des annĂ©es 1950, Ă©tait lâun des derniers monstres sacrĂ©s du cinĂ©ma français.
NĂ© le 8 novembre 1935 Ă Sceaux (Hauts-de-Seine), Alain Delon fait ses dĂ©buts sur le grand Ă©cran Ă la fin des annĂ©es 1950, dans Quand la femme sâen mĂȘle, dâYves AllĂ©gret.
Ces premiers pas au cinĂ©ma, il les doit Ă un « scout » qui les repĂšre, lui et son charisme, lors dâun casting sauvage rĂ©alisĂ© en marge du Festival de Cannes, Ă une Ă©poque oĂč le jeune Alain Delon enchaĂźne les petits boulots. Quelques mois plus tĂŽt, il Ă©tait revenu dâIndochine, oĂč il a servi dans la Marine, avant dâĂȘtre renvoyĂ© pour avoir, selon la lĂ©gende, « empruntĂ© » une jeep pour aller faire la fĂȘte. Un beau gosse un rien rebelle. Tout Delon est lĂ , dĂ©jĂ .
Ce personnage de voyou magnifique, auquel sa nature semble le prĂ©destiner, Alain Delon va lâĂ©trenner, le perfectionner durant une bonne partie de sa carriĂšre.
TrĂšs rapidement, on le verra ainsi incarner un tueur Ă gages dans Le SamouraĂŻ (1967), dans lâune de ses nombreuses collaborations avec Jean-Pierre Melville. Puis, dans Borsalino (1970), oĂč il partage lâaffiche avec son meilleur ennemi, Jean-Paul Belmondo, il prend les traits dâun Ă©minent membre de la pĂšgre marseillaise.
Toujours en 1970, dans Le Cercle rouge, il joue un autre bandit de classe, traquĂ© par un Bourvil Ă contre-emploi. Mais, plus tard, les Français le verront passer de lâautre cĂŽtĂ© de lâinsigne, dans Parole de flic ou Pour la peau dâun flic, film quâil produira, comme une trentaine dâautres.
La rubrique des faits divers, celui qui ne cachera jamais ses attaches Ă droite la cĂŽtoiera Ă©galement dans le civil. Ă la fin des annĂ©es 1960, alors quâil est au faĂźte de sa gloire, il sera ainsi entendu dans le cadre de la mĂ©diatique affaire Markovic, du nom de son ancien homme Ă tout faire yougoslave, retrouvĂ© assassinĂ©. La procĂ©dure, dans laquelle un ami dâAlain Delon, François Marcantoni, Ă©tait le principal suspect, avait dĂ©bouchĂ© sur un non-lieu pour preuves insuffisantes. Elle aura nĂ©anmoins perturbĂ© le tournage du Clan des Siciliens, dans lequel il partage lâaffiche Jean Gabin et Lino Ventura. Rien que ça.
Puis, au tournant des annĂ©es 2023 et 2024, il sera lâobjet dâune brouille entre ses enfants, Anouckha, Alain-Fabien et Anthony, sur fond dâhĂ©ritage et de prĂ©sence dâune « dame de compagnie », Hiromi Rollin. La dĂ©couverte, quelques semaines plus tard, des dizaines dâarmes que possĂšde lâacteur dans sa rĂ©sidence de Douchy (Loiret), finira dâalimenter une chronique qui aura quelque peu terni lâimage de lâacteur.
Mais, entre-temps, Alain Delon aura peaufinĂ© son autre facette, celle du sĂ©ducteur Ă la gueule dâange. Celle-ci crĂšve lâĂ©cran dĂšs 1960, dans Plein Soleil de RenĂ© ClĂ©ment et dans Rocco et ses frĂšres, oĂč Delon donne la rĂ©plique Ă Claudia Cardinale, sous les ordres de lâun de ses mentors, Luchino Visconti.
Ce sĂ©ducteur patentĂ©, les spectateurs le retrouveront rĂ©guliĂšrement par la suite. Dans Le GuĂ©pard (1963), film-fleuve issu de lâĆuvre de Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, par exemple. Mais aussi, et peut-ĂȘtre surtout, dans La Piscine (1970), film sensuel dans lequel Delon donne la rĂ©plique Ă Romy Schneider, son ex-compagne.
Plus que ceux quâil forma avec Nathalie Delon, Mireille Darc ou, un temps, avec Dalida, le couple mythique quâAlain Delon forma avec lâinterprĂšte de Sissi, contribuera Ă le faire entrer dans la lĂ©gende du cinĂ©ma français, celle Ă laquelle, diront ses dĂ©tracteurs, il Ă©tait si conscient dâappartenir. Difficile toutefois, en regardant dans le rĂ©troviseur, de le contredire sur ce point.
