#the o'neddy book reminded me that i have a long overdue borel reread to get back to

[kingedmundsroyalmurder]

Past!me has good taste in highlight-worthy quotes:

"Mais sa propriété la plus incontestable est celle, quand on a l’imprudence de s’y baigner, de guérir de la vie." [But [the river's] most incontestable property was, for those foolish enough to bathe in it, to cure them of life.]

It's from Borel, because of course it is.
