history, without biography, without psychology; he is only that someone who holds gathered into a single field all the paths of which the text is constituted. This is why it is absurd to hear the new writing condemned in the name of a humanism which hypo- critically appoints itself the champion of the reader’s rights. The reader has never been the concern of classical criticism; for it, there is no other man in literature but the one who writes. We are now beginning to be the dupes no longer of such antiphrases, by which our society proudly champions precisely what it dismisses, ignores, smothers or destroys; we know that to restore to writing its future, we must reverse its myth: the birth of the reader must be ransomed by the death of the Author. — translated by Richard Howard 6
And I suspect your soul's a little tainted Therewith. I've preached to you a score of times That you'll draw down some judgment on your head. CLEANTE That is the usual strain of all your kind; They must have every one as blind as they. They call you atheist if you have good eyes; And if you don't adore their vain grimaces, You've neither faith nor care for sacred things. No, no; such talk can't frighten me; I know What I am saying; heaven sees my heart. We're not the dupes of all your canting mummers; There are false heroes--and false devotees; And as true heroes never are the ones Who make much noise about their deeds of honour, Just so true devotees, whom we should follow, Are not the ones who make so much vain show. What! Will you find no difference between Hypocrisy and genuine devoutness? And will you treat them both alike, and pay The self-same honour both to masks and faces Set artifice beside sincerity, Confuse the semblance with reality,
Eelkõige Habsburgide vastu suunatud välispoliitikas toetas aga Prantsusmaa ka edaspidi just protestantlikke võime, sekkudes nende poolel ka Kolmekümneaastasesse sõtta. Riigi usulise ühtuse saavutamise kõrval pidas Richelieu hädavajalikuks kõrgaadli võimu piiramist. Kuigi kuninga ema Maria de' Medici õhutas poega Richelieud tagandama, asus Louis XIII vastupidi oma esimest ministrit toetama. Pärast ,,tüssatute päeva" (Journée des Dupes) 1630 oli lahkuma sunnitud hoopiski Maria de' Medici. Richelieu surus otsustavalt maha kõrgaadli vastupanukatsed. Vandenõulaste maavaldused konfiskeeriti, nende kindlustused hävitati. Keelati duellid. Provintside valitsemiseks saadeti Pariisist kohtadele kuningale alluvad intendandid, kes kontrollisid nii kiriku-, kohtu- kui rahandusasju. ,,Päikesekuningas" Louis XIV Pärast isa surma viieaastasena troonile tõusnud Louis XIV valitsusaega [16431715] loetakse
" Cavite was spottily reading JN25 messages—which revealed nothing about Pearl Harbor—until December 4, when the superencipherment was suddenly changed. As a message that moved on the monitor channel put it: "Five numeral intercepts subsequent to zero six hundred today indicate change of cipher system including complete change differentials and indicator subtracters X All intercepts received since time indicated checked against all differentials three previous systems X No dupes." Corregidor was not to get the initial break into the new superencipherment until December 8. And the only other system in which the Yoshikawa messages might have been forwarded—the flag officers' system—remained unsolved. A possibility of warning was opened at the source, however, when Yoshikawa's original messages became available to Rochefort's unit. Mayfield had picked up another batch of cables in the surreptitious
