For instance, when the President of the Commercial Court entered and bowed, Rougon cried affably: 'Are you on your own, Monsieur le Président? I do hope we will have the pleasure of seeing Madame at the banquet this evening...' He stopped short, noticing embarrassed looks on people's faces. Du Poizat nudged him gently, and then he remembered: the President of the Commer- cial Court was separated from his wife, after a minor scandal. He had thought he was addressing the President of the Civil Court. But that did not put him off his stride. Still smiling, he made no attempt to correct his mistake, but hastened to say: 'I bring you good news, Monsieur. My colleague, the Minister of Justice, tells me he has put your name forward for a certain decoration. But I'm being very indiscreet. You mustn't say anything yet.' The President of the Commercial Court blushed to the roots of his hair. He was overjoyed. People flocked round him to offer their congratulations, while Rougon made a mental note of the decoration he had conferred in such a timely fashion. He would have to remember to tell the Minister of Justice. He felt, in any case, that the cuckolded husband rather deserved a decoration
'Have you heard the story of Du Poizat's meeting with his father? So funny!... As you know, the old boy used to be a bailiff. He made a bit of money by running a short-term moneylender's business, and now lives like a hermit in a tumbledown house, with loaded guns behind the door... Well, he never stopped saying his son would come to a bad end, and Du Poizat has been dreaming for ages of getting back at him. That was one of the main reasons why he was so keen to be prefect here... So, one morning, Du Poizat puts on his best uniform and makes a tour of inspection of the district as an excuse to knock at the old man's door. For a good quarter of an hour father and son ar- gue away, through the door, before the old boy finally opens up. And there was this pale, little old man staring blankly at all that gold braid. And do you know what he said, as soon as his son had managed to explain he was now the prefect? "Is that right, Leopold? Then please tell the tax collector to stop com- ing round and bothering me!" No reaction, no surprise, at the fact that his son was prefect... When Du Poizat had recovered from the shock, he was as white as a sheet. He just stared at his father, maddened by how indifferent the old man was. He could see there was one man in the department he would never get the better of

The coming to and the moving away: further. There were clusters beyond this sentence. Gaps that were over- heard.

Now it was Rougon's turn to fulminate against books. A novel had re- cently appeared that incensed him: an imaginative work of the utmost de- pravity. While pretending to be concerned with the exact truth, it dragged the reader into the excesses of a hysterical woman. He seemed to like the word 'hysterical', for he repeated it three times, but when Clorinde asked him what he meant, he was overcome with modesty and refused to tell her. 'Everything can be said,' he went on. 'Only, there are ways of doing it... It's the same in government work, the most sensitive material often comes one's way. For example, I've read reports about certain women. You know what I mean? But in those reports the most precise details are set down in a clear, frank, straightforward manner. Nothing dirty at all... Whereas novel-writers today have adopted a lubricious style, a way of describing things that brings them to life before your eyes. They call it art. It's indecency, nothing more.

Delestang shook his head, and said nothing. He had a magnificent head, almost entirely bald, but the sort of premature baldness that appeals to the ladies. The stretch of denuded skull extended his forehead enormously, giving him a very intelligent look. His slightly rubicund cheeks and rather square jowl, which had not a hint of hair on it, was suggestive of those serious, pens- ive faces that imaginative painters like to give to great political figures.

roydotexe.bsky.social The lit bro stuff is frustrating to me because the lit bro canon is both over discussed and basically appropriately rated while the genre bros are languishing in obscurity - I dont care about dfw until society acknowledges that like Ross macdonald or jack vance are better writers Roy, MBA, MFA @roydotexe.bsky.s... 2mo Sometimes I want to post the stray thoughts I have in the shower, but they're always the thoughts of a hater 1:32 PM Mar 18, 2026
Joe Weisenthal Every normie feels in their gut that oil should go higher. And every oil expert seems to think that every day we get closer to the true disaster scenario. So why is it that oil is not only below the highs of the month, but, as @JavierBlas pointed out, far below the 2022 highs? Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart Btw any explanation that's premised on participants in the world's most important commodity market being gullible dupes, I'm inclined to dismiss out of hand. 11:12 AM 25 Mar 26 18.2K Views
She's one of the most verbally gifted writers I've worked with, just wildly imaginative," Mr. Saunders said. "Her work is kind of dark but personally, she is very optimistic and bright. The darkness is the willingness to acknowledge that things don't go perfectly... Some people come in and light up the room and raise the bar and she was one of those."

With luck puddled up in a spring field and this tinfoil hat on, the poem can cease its drunken circumambulations return to port, kiss its long suffering wife riotously on the lips as part of a great homecoming, a feast! A parade! A triumph! After many years at anchor in distant ports, chewing khat on deck with Yemenis begging them 'let me in! Let me take part in the beautiful resistance to the Great Satan and honor the great leaders, strategists, thinkers for posterity through the Power of verse, the Force of Resistance. But they would not negotiate even after expressing my Desire to honor a patron, live like Du Fu! See the beautiful countryside, ports and islands drink chai launch missiles: I would advise them to fire a missile at the Americans on the moon. Retention edit the strong virtuous leaders of Yemen or Iran or China and their beautiful missiles which speak to wisely invested resources and the ability to educate and guide generations of wise and learned scholars towards the greatness of the nation while the useless Americans burn oil and lives in a genocidal fury that also burns away their failing hegemony: a failure that becomes most evident when confronted by the wise planning and cunning of the steadfast resistance which is indeed the world's most moral force an almost unfathomable bravery amidst the bombing of schools and hospitals Retention edit And still the power of verse is doubted: 'poetry is powerful because it is powerless' the liberals will scream! Even as they condemn a beautiful celebration of the Axis of Resistance, something some of them say is a fraud! An Iranian plot! They're inspecting my poetic license! Hand in Hand with Trump's DHS! All because this verse is powerless!
