Brothers Grimm - Rapunzel


Once upon a time there was a man and a woman who had long, but to no avail, wished for a child. Finally the woman came to believe that the good Lord would fulfill her wish. Through the small rear window of these people's house they could see into a splendid garden that was filled with the most beautiful flowers and herbs. The garden was surrounded by a high wall, and no one dared enter, because it belonged to a sorceress who possessed great power and was feared by everyone. One day the woman was standing at this window, and she saw a bed planted with the most beautiful Rapunzel. It looked so fresh and green that she longed for some. It was her greatest desire to eat some of the #Rapunzel. This desire increased with every day, and not knowing how to get any, she became miserably ill.

Il en est de même dans toutes les guerres. Mais non pas au même degré. Ceux qui tombèrent à Jemmapes ne se trompaient pas à ce point sur la cause à laquelle ils se dévouaient. Cette fois, l’ignorance des victimes est tragique. On croit mourir pour la patrie ; on meurt pour des industriels.

Horatio Alger Jr. - Wide Awake (1855)

But, after a while, a heavy misfortune fell upon her: it was no less than the loss of eyesight. So she was obliged to give up her spinning; for now she could distinguish neither the web nor the woof. You can imagine her distress at being deprived so suddenly of seeing the great and beautiful spectacle of fields, flowers, and sky, which every day presents to our gaze.
