Man schreibt was ab in seinem Leben.
Da sieht man, dass ich auch schreiben kann!
Aber gewöhnlich schreibe ich nur ab.
Tag ein, Tag aus.

"Bonaparte schreibt eben so schlecht und unleserlich, als sein Ausdruck im Sprechen rein, gedrängt, nachdrucksvoll ist.

1807

Am 22. April begannen die spanischen Truppen, die bereits Obersachsen durchziehen, wohin seit 1547 kein spanisches Heer gekommen ist, ihren Marsch aus Florenz nach den Ufern der Elbe. Die erste der fünf Kolonnen, welche dieses 6000 Mann starke Truppenkorps bilden traf am 10. May in Botzen ein.

En 1807-1808 una división española acudió, junto a franceses y otros europeos continentales, en socorro de Dinamarca frente al ataque de fuerzas anglosajonas.

Attack on HMS Dictator by Christian Mølsted

After the surrender and internment of the Danish battle fleet by the Royal Navy in 1807, Denmark continued the war using swarms of gunboats during calm weather, when they could outmanoeuvre their larger opponents.

I’ve written this (micro-biography, my ass) & am just getting Mme Louverture off the island headed toward France. Will spend spring semester on rewrites of first 3 parts. Summer in France, followed by writing last part. I appreciate my village, who remind me that Suzanne is a story worth telling.

“Earth history” is geen gangbare term buiten de geologie, maar er is steeds meer onderzoek naar de verweven geschiedenis van geo-kennis, extractie en kosmologie. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de arbeiders die in de steengroeves van de Sint-Pietersberg mosasaurus-fossielen vonden. Een kleine inleiding. 1/12
