But through the bars he found himself looking into a garden-or at least, what was left of one-now grown monstrous with the years, with peonies and hollyhocks and roses tall as houses, with thick and thorny branches and heads like those of shaggy sea monsters rising from the greenery. The young King tried the gate, which was locked. He followed the wall through the undergrowth, and soon uncovered a wrought-iron gate, almost as high as the wall itself, faded rust-red with the years, its scrolls and florets of metal grown as fine and brittle as autumn leaves. The wall was brick and very high, overgrown with vivid moss that fell in great, green, velvety swags all along the perimeter. One day, when he was still only half-grown, he came to a wall, deep in the woods. There, he would swim in the quiet streams, or swing in the canopy of the trees, or run for miles with the forest deer, far away from his underground realm and from his royal duties.

The revolution of, amongst others, American slave-holders enunciated some fine principles but left slavery undisturbed where it really counted, in the plantation zone. The English revolutions actually helped to rivet the chains on some millions of captive Africans. Indeed, if we compare the French Revolutionary record on slavery with the three Anglo-Saxon revolutions preferred by O’Brien then there can be little doubt about the superiority of Jacobinism over Anglo-American liberalism. ![]() The second is that O’Brien is only able to deny the emancipatory legacy of the Revolution by entirely ignoring its impact on the French colonies in particular and on New World slavery in general. The first is quite simply that if the Revolution was as dead as O’Brien claims then it would be unlikely to arouse such an impassioned and comprehensive attack. I would like to offer three objections to the scathing funeral ode pronounced by Conor Cruise O’Brien, “The Decline and Fall of the French Revolution”. ![]() 5/9/2023 0 Comments Kj ramsey this too shall last![]() ![]() I laugh at my own jokes and odd ponderings more than anyone laughs with me.

I am wife to the wisest man I've ever met, a redhead whose ability to listen outmatches anyone I know.
