Oksident17 января 2017Daudet continued: For, in our country, when the people is glad, there must be dancing, there must be … dancing! And since, in those days, the streets of the city were too narrow for the farandole, fifes and tambourines kept to the Bridge of Avignon, in the fresh breezes of the Rhône and day and night was dancing; was … dancing! Ah, happy days, happy city! The pikes that did not cut; the state prisons where wine lay cooling! Never famine, never wars … That was how the Popes of the Comtat knew how to govern their people; that is why their people has so much regretted them!
