The Restorers
Neal Pollard You can credit (or blame) a 16th-Century French scholar, printer, and typographer named Robert Etienne for our modern division of the Bible into individual verses. He’s sometimes known by his Latin name, Robert Stephanus. Overall, he did an incredibly commendable job. Sometimes his divisions are head-scratching, like in Ezra 2. This chapter has 70 verses, as he gives each family of…

De tant d’indignités, que les bêtes elles-mêmes ne sentiraient point ou n’endureraient pas, vous pourriez vous en délivrer, sans même tenter de le faire, mais seulement en essayant de le vouloir. Soyez donc ré-solus à ne plus servir et vous serez libres. Je ne veux pas que vous le heurtiez, ni que vous l’ébranliez, mais seulement ne le soutenez plus, et vous le verrez, comme un grand colosse dont on dérobe la base, tomber de son propre poids et se briser.
From all these indignities, such as the very beasts of the field would not endure, you can deliver yourselves if you try, not by taking action, but merely by willing to be free. Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.
— Étienne de la Boétie, Discours de la servitude volontaire ou le Contr'un p 17 (1548)

Platonic communal sleeping in the American colonies
Platonic bed-sharing was actually quite common custom in the colonies, especially during time's of need, after all, space and privacy were a luxury of the wealthy. It didn't necessarily have to be intimate either, it was not uncommon for sometimes even complete strangers - often travelers or soldiers - of the same sex to share a bed together at an Inn if there was little space, and needed room. Samuel Pepys, an 18th century diarist, often slept with male friends and wrote about the conversations they would have at night. [x]
Rotundo also explains that; “It is not too much to suggest that in an era before central heating, the body warmth of an already beloved bedmate may have been so welcome as to be a source of emotional as well as physical pleasure.” And implies that while it was most of the time done out of necessity, it was also oftentimes simply a warming act of affection, romantic or platonic; “This was, after all, a culture that fervently contrasted the secure and cozy warmth of home with the coldness of a cruel and heartless world outside… A bed, when shared with a special person, could become a nest of intimacy, a place of casual touch and confidential talk.” [x]
Additionally, during the days before central heating was truly a common thing (Especially if you weren't royal or wealthy), bedmates were also seen as warmth. Oftentimes servants even slept alongside their mistresses. This was also how many sicknesses would spread, as bedbugs and lice were transported from person to person in the colonial period usually when sharing bunks or close quarters.
Even notable figures took part in this custom, like Robert Troup and Alexander Hamilton, as Chernow writes how the two shared beds while studying law together at King's College; “At King's, Troup wrote, ‘...they occupied the same room and slept in the same bed’” [x]
Which also leads to a humourous story about when John Adams slept with Benjamin Franklin in a New Jersey tavern during the fall of 1776. Just ten days prior, Washington and his men had barely escaped capture on Long Island after a suffering defeat to the British. The Continental Congress had debated for days about what was to be done. The British had captured General John Sullivan during the Battle, Earl Howe and his brother William Howe paroled Sullivan so he could take a message to Congress, as they wanted a talk peace. Eventually, Sullivan went to Philadelphia and spoke to Congress about the peace talks, to which the Congress decided that they would send a three-man committee to Staten Island. Which was composed of; Benjamin Franklin, Edward Rutledge, and Adams. The men represented the northern, middle and southern colonies. The three had set out on September 9th, Franklin and Rutledge each in a two-wheeled chaise, Adams on horseback. Later, the three men arrived in New Brunswick, and unfortunately had found the Inns all too crowded. Which led to Franklin and Adams having to share a tiny room, barely bigger than the bed, without a chimney, in the Indian Queen Tavern. Which then began an interesting debate, as they prepared to retire;
The window was open, and I, who was an invalid and afraid of the air in the night, shut it close. “Oh!” says Franklin, “don't shut the window, we shall be suffocated.” I answered, I was afraid of the evening air. Dr. Franklin replied, “The air within this chamber will soon be, and indeed is now, worse than that without doors. Come, open the window and come to bed, and I will convince you. I believe you are not acquainted with my theory of colds.” Opening the window, and leaping into bed, I said I had read his letters to Dr. Cooper, in which he had advanced, that nobody ever got cold by going into a cold church or any other cold air, but the theory was so little consistent with my experience, that I thought it a paradox. However, I had so much curiosity to hear his reasons that I would run the risk of a cold. The Doctor then began a harangue upon air and cold, and respiration and perspiration, with which I was so much amused that I soon fell asleep, and left him and his philosophy together, but I believe they were equally sound and insensible within a few minutes after me, for the last words I heard were pronounced as if he was more than half asleep. I remember little of the lecture...

Especially during time of war, when the revolution was rough, and means were low. Or as some day; “These are the times that try men's souls”. If the army was running low on space, or even beds, many - if not most - men resorted to sharing the same bed. Although this particular custom was not as accepted by many European visitors who came to the colonies, this cultural difference was often completely condemned by them. Pierre Du Ponceau - an aide of Baron von Steuben's - wrote of a particular dispute between a Virginian and a Frenchman about the subject in his autobiography;
One evening at an Inn in Virginia, a Frenchman and a Virginian were discussing about the manners of their respective countries. The American exclaimed violently against the horrid custom of the French of kissing one another at meeting and parting. The Frenchman made no answer, but as it was late, he took his candle and went up to bed. He was soon followed by the Virginian who after undressing came to take his place in the same bed with his companion “Stop, Sir,” said the Frenchman, “that won't do—I shall kiss you as much as you please, but by Jupiter, I'll not sleep with you.”
Source — Autobiographical Letters Of Peter S. Duponceau
It seems like this custom was almost exclusively English/Colonial, as David Montagu Erskine wrote to his father in 1799 of the living arrangements he and his companions encountered among the transient inhabitants of Washington, DC;
Each of us have a bed room to ourselves, if we chuse, but people in this country seem to think so lightly of such an indispensable comfort as I consider it, that I believe there are but three of us, who have rooms to ourselves.
Source — Menk, Patricia Holbert. “D. M. Erskine: Letters from America, 1798-1799.” The William and Mary Quarterly, Volume 6.
Edward Thornton, secretary to the new British minister to the United States, wrote to his former employer in 1792;
Mr. Hammond's rank may possibly secure him from some of the inconveniences, which others, rendered fastidious by the style of travelling in England, are loud in their complaints of, such as [...] fellow lodgers in the same room and not infrequently in the same bed.
Source — Jackman, S. W. “A Young Englishman Reports on the New Nation: Edward Thornton to James Bland Burges, 1791-1793.” The William and Mary Quarterly, Volume 18
This custom was even common after the revolution and the war of 1812—As Lieutenant John Le Couteur, a British army officer from the Isle of Jersey, traveled through New York in 1816 accompanied by Captain George Thew Burke. Le Couteur and Burke arrived at an Inn one day after dinner had been served and cleared, and they were hard-pressed to convince the hostess to bring out more food, “But this was not the last grievance.” Le Couteur recorded in his diary and concluded;
There was only one spare bed, a small one, which of course I insisted Burke should take. The Yankee Landlord wished me to take half of it as a matter of course but I said: “we Britishers were particular on that pint.’ “Then,” said mine host, “I guess if you don’t chuse to take half a bed with some one, you’ll jist sleep in a cheer [chair] or by the kitchen fire’

Notre Sphynx 💚
A legend first on the pitch, then as a coach. He won 5 league titles as a player, 4 as a coach for a total of 8 titles out of our 10 cause in 1975 he decided to select himself for the last day as we had already won the title and he was only 36! Won as many French cup as a player than as a coach (3) and took us to our European final (with the damned square goalposts). Arrived in 1957 in Sainté (at 18) as a player, left the bench (as a coach this time) in 1983 but came back once more from 1987 to 1990 and lived his retirement near Saint-Etienne. And look at that hair in color!

He would have been 84 today (and some assholes from Lyon decided to vandalize our training center that now bears his name during the night - no wonder it’s one of the most hated club in France).

Plaque en hommage à : Résistants français
Type : Lieu de décès
Adresse : 10 rue de l'Aumône, 45140 Saint-Jean-de-la-Ruelle, France
Date de pose :
Texte : Fusillés en ce lieu pour la défense de nos libertés. 1942-1944. Amiot Bernard, Auger Marc, Baradon Étienne, Baum Abraham, Beaupin Fernand, Bertheau Robert, Cacault Guy, Charbonnaud Jacques, Chartier André, Chevrin Louis, Devin Georges, Girardot Paul, Jacquet Henri, Jenot Maurice, Lagier Gérard, Lambert Roland, Leclerc Roger, Lelièvre Maurice, Langele Charles ; Lemaire Michel, Leraut Antonin, Lerouge Marcel, Martin Henri, Mandard Pierre, Mazet Marcel, Millet Maurice, Morand Roger, Murzeau André, Page Maurice, Pascual Améla, Régnier Léon, Rivet Jacques, Rivière Fernand, Roblin Jean, Terrenoire Charles, Vergracht Guy, Pilongery Marcel, Berthier Célestin. A jamais vénérons leur généreux sacrifice.
Quelques précisions : Située en zone occupée, l'agglomération d'Orléans souffre pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et devient à ce titre un point chaud de la Résistance. Plusieurs groupes de résistants y sont particulièrement actifs, comme le groupe Chanzy. Nombreux sont les résistants et leurs soutiens qui y perdront la vie. Ainsi, au champ de tir des Groues, à Saint-Jean-de-la-Ruelle (banlieue d'Orléans), une quarantaine de victimes seront fusillées par les Allemands. Près de la moitié d'entre elles sont exécutées en représailles aux actions de sabotage menées par la Résistance en 1943, cette fusillade en particulier constituant l'un des massacres les plus meurtriers de la région. Certains de ces résistants, comme Marcel Lerouge ou Fernand Rivière, sont honorés par d'autres plaques commémoratives de l'agglomération orléanaise. Le nom d'autres, comme Maurice Millet ou Guy Vergracht, a été donné à des gymnases locaux.
