Elucubration 20250420-1

Depuis quelques temps les #fables de #LaFontaine me trotte en tête. Surtout les morales qu'il en tire.

Enfin quand je dis "les", il n'y en a une qui me titille tout particulièrement.

"Rien ne sert de courir, il faut partir à temps".

L'homme le plus rapide du monde: 11m/s. Une balle de fusil: 600m/s, sans forcer.

Quand on y pense...

A quotation from Mignon McLaughlin

We tell our children things which we know are not so, but which we wish were so.

Mignon McLaughlin (1913-1983) American journalist and author

“I never read such an impious book,” said the reader, throwing it on the floor.
“You need not hurt me,” said the book; “you will only get less for me second hand, and I did not write myself.”

For #WorldBookDay (UK), a fable about a book: Robert Louis Stevenson’s “The Reader”

XI—THE READER

“I never read such an impious book,” said the reader, throwing it on the floor.

“You need not hurt me,” said the book; “you will only get less for me second hand, and I did not write myself.”

“That is true,” said the reader. “My quarrel is with your author.”

“Ah, well,” said the book, “you need not buy his rant.”

“That is true,” said the reader. “But I thought him such a cheerful writer.”

“I find him so,” said the book.

“You must be differently made from me,” said the reader.

“Let me tell you a fable,” said the book. “There were two men wrecked upon a desert island; one of them made believe he was at home, the other admitted—”

“O, I know your kind of fable,” said the reader. “They both died.”

“And so they did,” said the book. “no doubt of that. And everybody else.”

“That is true,” said the reader. “Push it a little further for this once. And when they were all dead?”

“They were in God’s hands, the same as before,” said the book.

“Not much to boast of, by your account,” cried the reader.

“Who is impious now?” said the book.

And the reader put him on the fire.

The coward crouches from the rod,
And loathes the iron face of God.

La barrique voulut se faire aussi grosse que le bœuf
Mal lui en prit, sur le nez, la porte se referma
Tout le monde n’est pas un foudre de guerre.
Le fluet portail voyant la futaille ventripotente
Fit un magnifique Oh ! d’étonnement.
Ainsi, le dodu tonneau put s’introduire
Et régaler les fines gueules en pleine ripailles ⬇️
