Wed, 12 Apr 2006 11:32:00 GMT Flaubert's Dictionnaire des Idées reçuesvia Kjell Olsen2232 days agoCommon wisdom to bourgeois french written by Gustave Flaubert, in and around the 19th century. (Translations are mine, excuse any errors.)
Chat: Les chats sont traîtres. Les appeler tigres de salon. Leur couper la queue pour empècher le vertigo. (Cat: Cats are traitors. Call them the tigers of the living room. Cut their tail to prevent vertigo.)
Lion: Est gêreux. Joue toujours avec une boule. (Lion: is generous. Always playing with a ball.)
Clarinette: En jouer rend aveugle. Ex.: Tous les aveugles jouent de la clarinette. (CLARINET: Playing it blinds. Ex.: All blind people play the clarinet.)
Dieu: Voltaire lui-même l’a dit: “Si Dieu n’existait pas, il faudrait l’inventer.” (God: Voltaire said it himself: “If god didn’t exist, it would be necessary to invent him.)
égoisme: Se plaindre de celui des autres et ne pas s’apercevoir du sien. (Egoism: To complain about that of others, and not perceive your own.)
Républicains: Les républicains ne sont pas tous voleurs, mais les voleurs sont tous républicains. (Republicans: Republicans aren’t all thieves, but thieves are all republicans.)
It all sounds a bit tongue in cheek, but it isn’t.
