"That's enough for me," said Sonya, flushing crimson.

"No; but I have been in love a thousand times, and I shall fall in love again, though such a feeling of affection, confidence and love I have for no one as for you. Then I am young…”- Nikolay

"Don't speak to me of it. I want nothing. I love you as a brother, and shall always love you, and I want nothing more." - Sonya

"You are an angel; I'm not worthy of you, but I am only afraid of deceiving you” - Nikolay

War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy

Punishment as spectacle in French Romanticism:

“(…) tavolettas (are) Sort of wooden tablets hung up at the corners of streets the evening before an execution, on which is pasted up a paper containing the names of the condemned persons, their crimes, and mode of punishment. The reason for so publicly announcing all this is, that all good and faithful Catholics may offer up their prayers for the unfortunate culprits, and, above all, beseech of Heaven to grant them a sincere repentance.”

“And these tablets are brought to you that you may add your prayers to those of the faithful, are they?” asked Franz somewhat incredulously.

“Oh, dear, no, your excellency! I have not time for anybody’s affairs but my own and those of my honorable guests; but I make an agreement with the man who pastes up the papers, and he brings them to me as he would the playbills, that in case any person staying at my hotel should like to witness an execution, he may obtain every requisite information concerning the time and place etc.”

Dumas, The Count of Montecristo

“The mud splashes you as you drive through it in your carriage—you are a respectable person; you go afoot and are splashed—you are a scoundrel. You are so unlucky as to walk off with something or other belonging to somebody else, and they exhibit you as a curiosity in the Place du Palais-de-Justice; you steal a million, and you are pointed out in every salon as a model of virtue. And you pay thirty millions for the police and the courts of justice, for the maintenance of law and order! A pretty slate of things it is!”

Balzac, Old Man Goriot

Death & FE3H

The Death archetype deals primarily with the cycle of life and is a reminder that all things must pass. Things that once held authority will lose significance, the young will one day become old, day will become night, but night will always become day. So in this way, Death is not only about death, but about rebirth.

Death reminds us that we must let go of the past if we wish to experience something new. We see in the distance that the sun is rising after a long dark night. We also see that although the king is dead, his child (in similar coloured clothing) still lives. So although one reign has ended, another will begin. Death is a necessary component of life, as it becomes a turning of the page. Old ideas die, new ideas have space to grow.

The Crest of Gautier may be referring to Théophile Guatier, a French poet and literary critic. He vehemently defended Romanticism, an emerging style in the literary community. Although he didn’t always write in that style, he often contributed to literary journals about Romanticism.

The dragon associated with this crest is the Fissure Dragon. The closest idea I could find was that a fissure is a breakage in the earth. It refers to breaks and fine cracks in earth or stone.

I can’t figure out what kind of strange dragon this may be. Considering that the Lance of Ruin twitches and looks a little unnerving, I thought maybe this dragon would be a subterranean dragon. The little twitches could possibly be sensors, the way naked mole rats have whiskers, or maybe the sensors on the Shirshu from ATLA.

The character that I’ll connect to these ideas is Sylvain José Gautier. Sylvain has to deal with Death both literally and figuratively. His brother dies, ending with him a fearful and regretful era of Sylvain’s life. Later on in life, Sylvain can also end the reliance upon Crests prevalent in Faerghus, ushering in a new era focused on diplomacy over strength.

He cares for literature and critiques Bernadetta’s works. His attitude is similar to Théophile Gautier’s as well, in that he defends the new and helps it take root. In Sylvain’s lifetime, attitudes around crests in Faerghus are already changing. Dimitri himself hopes to find a way for nobility to rely less on crests so inheritance lines can be cleaner and kinder. Sylvain finds a way for this to become reality.

Interestingly, the fissure seems to be on Miklan instead of Sylvain. The scar on his face looks like a breakage. He himself becomes a fissure in his family, as he attempted to kill Sylvain numerous times.

What do you guys think? Is the Death card more than meets the eye when it comes to Sylvain?

Racial profiling in Borel’s Passereau

Passereau had a strange aspect and a meridional complexion; the bourgeois guards found his air to be dangerous for a monarchy; and during the times of civil disturbances, many times had he been arrested and imprisoned for the crime of illegal carrying of a swarthy head.

Petrus Borel, Passereau, The Student, from Champavert (1833)

It has come to my attention that there is a graphic novel about George Sand, and despite my best efforts I cannot find any information about it online. I feel like you would know about this sort of thing. Do you happen to know the title/where I can buy it? Love your blog!!

Hello there! Thank you for the kind words I run this blog like it is the window to my brain, so anything to make someone else happy.

In terms of George Sand graphic novels, I know of two. They are both in French but are available from global retailers. I myself (surprisingly) do not speak french so I cannot vouch for any dialogue but I do, in fact, love looking at pictures!

On the left is George Sand, fille du siècle by Séverine Vidal and Kim Consigny. I do not know nearly enough about it but I am on the hunt for a reasonably priced copy myself.

On the right is George Sand: Ma vie à Nohant by Chantal van den Heuvel and Nina Jacqmin. I picked this up in the gift shop of the Musée de la Vie romantique in Paris, it is a stunning book and I adore it's art style.

I hope this is what you're looking for : )
