Modern French literature is especially preoccupied with the theme of boredom.
Stendhal mentioned it on every page, Flaubert devoted books
to it, and Baudelaire was its chief poet. What is the reason for
this peculiar French sensitivity?

The ballads were pure, musical, witty, radiant,humane, I think they were Platonic. By Platonic I refer to an
original perfection to which all human beings long to return.
Yes, Humboldt's words were impeccable. Genteel America had nothing to worry about.

I wasn't doing so well myself recently when Humboldt acted from the grave, so to speak, and made a basic change in my life. In spite of our big fight and ffteen years of estrangement he left me something in his will. I came into a legacy.

impregnated with boredom, by the writings of prisoners.
Boredom has more to do with modern political revolution than justice has.
When Trotsky spoke of permanent revolution he really meant
