Louise Michel, “A Final Thought” (1887)

July 5, 2016 Shawn P. Wilbur

Han Ryner, “A Transition” (“The Secret of Don Juan”) (1897)

July 5, 2016 Shawn P. Wilbur

All of the accounts of the interview of Don Juan and the Commander are inaccurate, and the puerile words reported by various authors were not uttered. The genuine dialogue expressed deep, singular things, and it is perhaps my duty to make them known. […]

[ezcol_1half] Today or Tomorrow. Everything is good that strikes or stings. [1] So much the better if these bandits have finished their work. The scaffold has started the party, and the fire will beat its […]
