Remember that breakfast one November —
Cold black grapes smelling faintly
Of the cork they were packed in,
Hard rolls with hot, white flesh,
& thick, honey sweetened chocolate?
& the parties at night; the gin & the tangos?
The torn hair nets, the lost cuff links?
— Kenneth Rexroth,
excerpt, "Between Two Wars" (1944)

1751 -- Kostproben eines libertären Provokateurs: Julien Offray de La Mettrie (1709-1751)
Es war einmal ein kleiner bretonischer Arzt. Der konnte seine philosophischen Betrachtungen nicht für sich behalten und mußte deswegen von Frankreich nach Holland. Weil auch die Holländer nicht mochten, was er sprach und schrieb, mußte er nach Preussen zum großen König und wurde dessen Leibatheist. Er vertrieb dem König mit seiner guten Laune die Langeweile und den Philosophen, mit denen sich der König umgab, dieselbe. Freunde hatte er nicht viele, denn Freund eines solchen Mannes zu sein, ist unbequem.Als er am 11. November 1751 starb, starb auch sein Geist - wie das bei Materialisten so sein muß. Dennoch: Wenn er nicht gestorben ist - lacht er noch heute über die Welt und sich selbst. (Lesung und Diskussion)

"The awful thing is that beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God & devil are fighting there, & the battlefield is the heart of man."
Kenneth Rexroth describes Dostoyevsky as a “man of many messages, a man in whom the flesh was always troubled & sick & whose head was full of dying ideologies — at last the sun in the sky, the hot smell of a woman, the grass on the earth, the human meat on the bone, the farce of death” — from his book Classics Revisited.

I have checked a used book — your stock in trade, I believe. It is in fact a very well used book, the 1961 edition, revised & enlarged, of John Rewald's basic book on Impressionism...
" . . .all were committed to the extreme left. Political matters were of grave concern to them, & their convictions were . . . inseparable from their works."John Rewald, Post Impressionism

Later in life, Twain hinted to others something of the torment that Joshua Norton suffered & the cruelty others showed him. Upon hearing of the Emperor's death, Twain wrote to his editor, William Howells, suggesting that the Emperor would make a fine subject for a book. & a fit of writer's block removed itself & Twain was able to complete two novels:Huckleberry Finn which featured a lost Dauphin & The Prince & the Pauper, a story of confused identities.
Through these, he paid homage to the man he'd known.

250,000 people line Chicago's streets during Parson's funeral procession. The executions elicits an international outcry.
Four labor activists, accused of murdering seven Chicago police officers at the Haymarket Riot the year before, are executed by hanging in Illinois.On May 4, 1886, a labor rally was held in Chicago's Haymarket Square to protest shooting of several strikers by the Chicago police the day before. Midway into the demonstration, made up of mostly German-born workers, a squad of nearly 200 hundred policemen arrived to break up the rally. As they began to forcibly disperse the crowd, a bomb was thrown into the advancing police by a person never positively identified. Policeman Mathias J. Degan died almost instantly, seven other officers died later, & over 60 others wounded.A grand jury indicted 31 labor radicals in connection with the bombing, & eight men were finally convicted. Judge Joseph E. Gary imposed the death sentence on seven of the men & the eighth was sentenced to 15 years. Samuel Fielden, Adolph Fischer, August Spies, & Albert Parson, executed by hanging, were the first labor activists to be executed in America. Of the other three sentenced to death, one commits suicide & the sentences of the other two are commuted from death to life-imprisonment as a result of public doubts about their actual responsibility in the massacre. In 1893, Illinois Governor John P. Altgeld pardons the three activists still imprisoned.

[Once again, my traditional 11/11 post]
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month
the guns finally stopped firing.
The young men who had been sent there by the old men back home could finally raise their heads above the mud for the first time in four years & look out across the shell-churned fields at the other young men, not 500 yards away, who stared numbly back at them.
A minute before the other men had been enemies & now they were not. Many of the men in this trench had never particuarly felt like the men in the other trench were enemies, but the old men back home had said that they were, so that's what they were.
Go figure...
