Notably: The mailman delivered a nice two-volume edition of Pascal’s complete works. I’m no Jansenist, but Pascal is the genesis of modern French style–clarity, wit, satire. We can all use a bit of Pascal even if we’re not big on his wagers. The volumes include The Provinciales, his famous take-down of the Jesuits, and of course the Pensées, his even more famous work (and set-up for Voltaire’s take-down in his English Letters of 1727), though it was never intended as a book. A few samples: “In every dialogue and discourse, we must be able to say to those who take offence, “Of what do you complain?” Or: “The sensibility of man to trifles, and his insensibility to great things, indicates a strange inversion.” Or–and I feel this most during hobbles to the bathroom for post-midnight mictures–“The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me.” Or–and I think of this on the way back to bed–“Why is my knowledge limited? Why my stature? Why my life to one hundred years rather than to a thousand? What reason has nature had for giving me such, and for choosing this number rather than another in the infinity of those from which there is no more reason to choose one than another, trying nothing else?” Tomorrow in this space I invite you to read Genesis’s take on the Pensées, if they were Trump tweets.

Let us imagine a number of men in chains, and all condemned to death, where some are killed each day in the sight of the others, and those who remain see their own fate in that of their fellows, and wait their turn, looking at each other sorrowfully and without hope. It is an image of the condition of men.
–From Pascal’s Pensées.
