Sometime last year, I saw this truck in Ithaca and immediately took a photo of it. The beauty of cell phone cameras … license plate blurred. :)
Jean Raisin a détrôné Bacchus, qui était un dieu trop gentilhomme. J’ai eu ce cauchemar une nuit, de voir Homère revivre avec des bourgeons écarlates au bout du nez. Je lui demandai des nouvelles d’Achille, d’Hector et d’Agamemnon ; il me chanta la Marseillaise. C’est le côté repoussant de notre siècle, cette odeur effrontée du mauvais vin, qui fait école, mêlée à l’ignoble méphitisme des tabagies.

That’s the repulsive way our century is going, that offensive odor of off wine that teaches us lessons, mixed with the squalid stink of smoke dens.

One of the undercurrents I have read…
I graduated from Smith a few years ago, and then I decided to create a Tumblr for some reason. It used to have a different name, but I renamed it because I realized the name was completely ridiculous. It's been changed to the title of a really awesome song from 1913.Now I blog and stuff, mostly resharing things from my presence elsewhere.
