Work throughout his life to access to glory and history and then, just statued, receive gull dropping as offering for eternity

 

Travailler une vie durant pour accéder à la gloire et la postérité et à peine statufié, recevoir les chiures des mouettes en guise d'offrandes pour l'éternité

 

A natural fortress, Black Mesa was the scene of dramatic events in 1694, when Pueblo warriors encamped on its summit withstood a months-long Spanish siege. That conflict was the culmination of what is known today as the Pueblo Revolt, an indigenous uprising that began on August 10, 1680.

"Faut vraiment que je dise à Angèle

Qu'ici c'est la révolution

Que tous les mômes foutent en l'air les poubelles

De la région

Qu'elle prenne sa bécane qu'elle sorte de chez elle

Qu'elle laisse tomber son feuill'ton

Pour me donner sur ces jeux rebelles

Une explication

Oh

Mais Angèle

Oh

 

Angèle me dit qu'il faut que je comprenne

Qu'ils ont forcément leurs raisons

Ils veulent savoir vers quoi on les entraîne

Et qui ils sont

C'est normal que ça leur pose un problème

Vu que PERSONNE ne leur répond

Angèle me dit qu'il faut que je comprenne

Leur réaction

Oh

Mais Angèle

Oh

{...}

Oh

Ma petite Angèle

Oh

 

C'est une gamine qui n'a que la quinzaine

Laisse exploser ses émotions

Par son goût de la révolte sans haine

Et ses passions

La jeunesse est une douleur si ancienne

En manque de compréhension

Qu'on devrait tous avoir pour Angèle de l'adoration

 

Reviens mon Angèle

Oh

{...}

Oh, oh, oh, Angèle

La, la, la,

La, la,la,

Oh, oh, oh"

 

Thanks for all visits and comments

The information about this sculpture was covered up for some reason. My best guess, though, is that it is by Alexander Liberman.

Le hameau des Bournas, à l'écart de la départementale qui monte de Gap au col de la Sentinelle, n'est constitué que de quelques bâtiments et hangars où la nature est sur le point de reprendre ses droits. Ainsi cette vieille faucheuse placée autrefois au bord du chemin est peu à peu engloutie par une dense végétation. Elle qui autrefois ne laissait place qu'à l'herbe rase se trouve submergée par la horde véhémente des buissons pressés de faire disparaître cette ennemie tombée dans l'entrelacs de leurs tiges en croissance.

“Some women get erased a little at a time, some all at once. Some reappear. Every woman who appears wrestles with the forces that would have her disappear. She struggles with the forces that would tell her story for her, or write her out of the story, the genealogy, the rights of man, the rule of law. The ability to tell your own story, in words or images, is already a victory, already a revolt.”

― Rebecca Solnit, Men Explain Things to Me

Rennes is a city in the east of Brittany in Northwestern France at the confluence of the rivers Ille and Vilaine. Rennes is the prefecture of the Brittany region and Ille-et-Vilaine department. In 2017, its urban area had a population of 357,327 inhabitants, while the larger metropolitan area had a population of 739,974. The inhabitants of Rennes are called Rennais and Rennaises in French.

Rennes's history goes back more than 2,000 years to a time when it was a small Gallic village named Condate. Together with Vannes and Nantes, it was one of the major cities of the ancient Duchy of Brittany. From the early sixteenth century until the French Revolution, Rennes was a parliamentary, administrative and garrison city of the historic province of Brittany in the Kingdom of France, as evidenced by its 17th-century Parliament's Palace. Rennes played an important role in the Stamped Paper Revolt (Revolt of the papier timbré) in 1675. After the destructive fire of 1720, the medieval wooden center of the city was partially rebuilt in stone. Remaining mostly rural until the Second World War, Rennes underwent significant development in the twentieth century.

Since the 1950s, Rennes has grown in importance through rural flight and modern industrial development, partly in the automotive sector. The city developed extensive building plans to accommodate upwards of 200,000 inhabitants. During the 1980s, Rennes became one of the main centres in telecommunications and high-tech industry. It is now a significant digital innovation centre in France. In 2002, Rennes became the smallest city in the world to have a Metro line.

Labeled a city of art and history, it has preserved an important medieval and classical heritage within its historic center, with over 90 buildings protected as historic monuments.Home to more than 66,000 students in 2016, it is also the eighth-largest university campus of France. In 2018, L'Express named Rennes as "the most liveable city in France".

From Giants in the Earth by O.E. Rolvaag:

 

She had been lying awake a long time; sleep would not come. Her thoughts drifted.

 

All night long as she tossed in bed, bitter revolt raged within her. They should not stay here through the winter! As soon as Per Hansa came home they must start on the journey back east; he, too ought to be able to see by this time that they would all become wild beasts if they remained her much longer.

 

Everything human in them would gradually be blotted out. They saw nothing, learned nothing. It would be even worse for their children - and what of their children's children?

 

Couldn't he understand that if the Lord God had intended these infinities to be peopled, He would not have left them desolate down through all the ages ... until now, when the end was nearing?

 

After a while the bitterness of her revolt began to subside; her thoughts became clear and shrewd, she tried to reason out the best way to getting back to civilization. That night she did not sleep at all.

 

The next morning she got up earlier than usual, kindled the fire, got the breakfast and waked the children. The food was soon prepared; first she poured some water in the pot, put in a spoonful or two of molasses, and added a few pieces of cinnamon; then she cut into bits the cold porridge form last night, and put them into the big bowl; she the sweetened water was hot she poured it over the porridge.

 

This was all they had - and no one asked for more.

Denbigh Castle (grade 1 Listed) and town walls (Welsh: Castell Dinbych a waliau tref) were established to secure control over Denbigh following Edward I of England’s conquest of Wales in 1282. The territory was assigned to Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, who initiated the construction of a fortified town populated by settlers from England, safeguarded by an imposing castle and surrounded by deer parks for hunting. Construction was incomplete by 1294 when Welsh forces briefly occupied the castle during the Madog ap Llywelyn revolt. Subsequent enhancements were made to its defenses, though the castle remained unfinished at Henry's death in 1311.

 

Ownership of the castle changed hands several times during the early 14th century until it came under the Mortimer family's control. Meanwhile, living within the walled town proved impractical, leading to the rise of a larger settlement outside the original fortifications. In 1400, the walled town suffered attacks during the Glyndŵr Rising; however, the castle itself withstood these assaults. During the Wars of the Roses, Lancastrian troops raided and burned the town, prompting most inhabitants to abandon the old area, which then became part of the castle’s extended defenses.

 

During the First English Civil War, Royalists held Denbigh until Parliamentarian forces seized it in October 1646. After Royalist soldiers retook it in 1659, General George Monk ordered the castle to be slighted, resulting in the demolition of portions of its walls and towers. Over time, the site further deteriorated, and the deserted walled town remained largely untouched. Restoration efforts began in the mid-19th century when a local committee took charge of the ruins. The Office of Works assumed responsibility for the fortifications in 1914, eventually transferring the site to the Welsh Cadw heritage agency.

 

Denbigh Castle is distinguished by three octagonal towers forming its main entrance, described by historian John Goodall as "the most architecturally sophisticated gatehouse of the thirteenth century." The curtain wall is reinforced by eight mural towers, additional barbicans, and several defensive terraces and walls. The castle joins the town walls, which are mostly intact and enclose approximately 1,100 metres (3,600 ft) around the old town. Originally, four towers and two gatehouses defended the town walls, although only one gatehouse remains. Both the castle and town gatehouse feature ornate stonework intended to reflect royal authority and civic pride.

Le château de Maÿtie, ou château d'Andurain, est un château situé à Mauléon-Licharre, dans le département des Pyrénées-Atlantiques et la région Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Le château fut édifié par Arnaud de Maÿtie, nommé évêque d'Oloron par Henri IV en 1598 avec pour mission de rétablir le culte catholique dans un diocèse à majorité protestant.

En 1661, la révolte du curé Matalas mena à la destruction d'une des quatre tours du château, qui ne fut jamais reconstruite.

Le château, jamais vendu, est conservé dans la même famille depuis sa construction.

Maÿtie est la propriété de la famille d’Andurain d'Azémar de Fabrègues.

 

Le château fait l'objet d'un classement aux Monuments historiques, réalisé en plusieurs étapes:

 

la totalité du château est inscrite le 19 mai 1925 ;

les façades, toitures et cheminées intérieures sculptées sont classées 2 octobre 1953 ;

l’aile sud du château, dans sa totalité est inscrite le 24 novembre 2005.
