would be if i could not at this moment remove from your thoughts all these reflections which no doubt did not fail to present themselves to your mind when your many occupations allowed you to think of your devoted and affectionate servant´ ) and further explaining ´rossini fut malheureux, et souffrant, voila mons. le vicomte. les seuls motifs du retard qu´il a ete oblige de mettre a vous donner de ces nouvelles. maintenant je vais vous detailler en peu de mots ce qui m´est arrive depuis que je suis ici. j´ai trouve tant d´affaires a regler. et je fus assailli d´une si nombreuse quantite de

sa rigueur? mais non; pour me faire encore plus regretter le bonheur parfait dont je jouissais lorsque j´etais pres de vous, il m´accabla de toute sa rigueur, et je tombais moi-meme malade.....ah! pour le hater que ne pouviez-vous voir votre pauvre rossini dans le neglige qu´il etait oblige d´adopter dans sa convalescence et qui epouvantait toutes ces belles marquises de bologne qui venaient le voir et s´en retournaient en s´ecrivant: povero rossini quanto e brutto!´ (translation: ´ rossini was unhappy, and unwell, these, mons. le vicomte, are the only reasons for the delay he was obliged to put in giving you this news. now i am going to detail to you in a few words what has happened to me since i have been here. i found so much business to settle, and i was beset with so many visits to my country where i had gone directly that it was impossible for me to find a quarter of an hour of solitude. i returned to town, driven out by the snow which seemed set to engulf us. as soon as i arrived, my sweet wife became very ill and ended up falling very seriously ill. for only a few weeks now she has been a little better, but her stomach, which is excessively weak, is still making her convalescent. the worries, the apprehensions, the company i had to keep her would have been more than enough excuse for my kind viscount, instead of scolding me, to have pitied me with all his heart for the delay this accident caused in informing him of me. should fate not, after tormenting me in this way, have given way to its rigour? but no; to make me regret even more the perfect happiness which i enjoyed when i was near you, it overwhelmed me with all its rigour, and i myself fell ill.......ah, for the hater, why couldn't you have seen your poor rossini in the negligee he was obliged to adopt during his convalescence, and who frightened all those beautiful marquises from bologna who came to see him and went away writing to each other: povero rossini quanto e brutto!´ ). the composer further excuses his french galimatias, and continues in a humourous manner, ´je vous confie que je soupire, et que je suis amoureux, ne devrai-je pas me trouver honteux de ce nouvel objet d´une si ardente flamme puisque le beau sexe n´y entre pour rien? un etre du genre masculin.....quelle honte! quel crime! et pourtant c´est a vous cher vicomte que je me recommande pour obtenir au

object of such ardent passion, since the fair sex has nothing to do with it? a male being.....what a shame! what a crime! and yet it is to you, dear vicomte, that i commend myself in order to obtain the object i so desire as quickly as possible. to you i write: my poem! please send me my dear poem! is it not a question, in giving it all my care to please you mons. vicomte? what a redoubling of love for him this thought gives me! i therefore await it with the greatest impatience´ ) and concludes his letter writing ´si quelque chose au monde pourra me rendre heureux loin de vous ce sera d´apprendre que votre sante est bonne, et que vous jouissez d´un bonheur sans nuage. j´apprendrai aussi avec une douce satisfaction que notre cher theatre, auquel je prends tant d´interet, va toujours prosperant. ma patrie m´est bien chere! ne me donna-t-elle pas le jour? la france, combien je l´aime! ne lui dois-je pas la plus vive reconnaissance? plein de ces sentiments auxquels je joins la tendre affection que je vous porte, daignez agreer, mon cher monsieur le vicomte les respectueux hommages de votre tres humble tout devoue et reconnaissant serviteur!´ (translation: ´ if anything in the world can make me happy away from you it will be to learn that your health is good, and that you are enjoying unclouded happiness. i shall also learn with sweet satisfaction that our dear theatre, in which i take so much interest, is still prospering. my country is very dear to me! did it not give me birth? france, how i love her! do i not owe her the deepest gratitude? full of these sentiments to which i add my tender affection for you, please accept, my dear monsieur le vicomte, the respectful homage of your most humble, devoted and grateful servant!´ ). in a postscript rossini asks to be remembered to a mutual female acquaintance, ´oserais-je vous prier de vouloir bien me rappeler au souvenir de l´aimable comtesse duquayla. si ce nom n´est pas bien ecrit veuillez de grace ne pas lui dire, car ne pas savoir ecrire le nom d´une belle dame comme elle peut s´appeler un peche mortel´ (translation: ´may i beg you to remember me to the kind countess duquayla. if this name is not spelt

l´enterrement à ornans (`a burial at ornans´). his painting les femmes having been refused to be exhibited at the paris salon exhibition, courbet states ` il parait que par souvenir de la conférence les curés auraient agi de représailles et qu´ils auraient obtenu par l´influence de l´impératrice que soit refusé le tableau de cette année les femmes que je vous envoie´ («it seems that by memory of the conference the priests would have acted in reprisals and that they would have obtained by the influence of the empress that the painting of this year the women, which i send to you, be refused ») courbet further remembers his own actions in belgium and expects there a different welcome to his works saying ` je me souviens de l´action que j´ai pris à gand et bruxelles et à anvers dans la

of the most successful artists of his time.  \n  \n retour de la conférence (1862) was a painting by courbet showing drunk priests. the watercolour was destroyed by fanatics and can only be seen on photographs.  courbet said about this painting  `ce tableau fait rire tout le pays et moi-même en particulier. c'est le tableau plus grotesque qu'on aura jamais vu en peinture. je n'ose pas vous le dépeindre, seulement c'est un tableau de curés´ (\"this painting makes the whole country laugh, and myself in particular.  it is the most grotesque painting that we will have ever seen in painting. i

1849-50, and is considered one of the major turning points of the french art of the 19th century. ornans was courbet´s birthplace and the funeral records his great-uncle funeral. his exhibition at the 1850-51 paris salon created an immediate and explosive reaction. the very large scale painting is displayed at the musée d´orsay in paris. courbet said ` the burial at ornans was in fact the burial of romanticism´. twenty years later, when courbet´s political views had changed , he repudiated this work saying that it was ` worth

and alice hoschedé (with all their eight children) moved first to poissy in 1881, then to giverny from 1883. monet often left the family home for long periods in order to be able to paint at leisure, leaving alice in charge of the household and eight children. the artist left poissy from mid-february to mid-april 1882, to go to dieppe, and then to normandy, and the present letter may date from this period. monet alludes to their final move to their famous home at giverny, near vernon in the eure department, where he would produce some of his finest

lecture on the state of the theory of relativity today at the invitation of the committee for the organisation of guest lectures by foreign scholars´ and according to the arbeiterzeitung , einstein spoke ´in the overcrowded lecture hall of the first physics institute of the university´. however, einstein was ignored by the conservative austrian government, the cabinet of karl buresch and johann schober as well as by the elite academic functionaries of the city.  a confidential report of the german embassy in vienna to the foreign ministry clearly stated why the world famous professor was no longer officially welcome in vienna:  ´following the invitation of the committee for the organisation of visiting lectures by foreign scholars of the exact sciences, prof. albert einstein held a lecture on the current state of the theory of relativity in the physical institute of the university of vienna on the 14th of this month. it is characteristic of the way in which all things are treated under party political aspects in vienna that the official bodies have noticed a particular reservation towards prof. einstein because he is a jew and is considered to be politically left. neither the minister of education nor the rectors of the universities attended the lecture, which of course attracted a huge audience´.  in fact, albert einstein, agains t whom the right wing extremist and anti-semitic witch hunt had now been intensified, particularly by the nazi party, used his lectures in the meantime to try and reach a wider audience than just bourgeois conservative circles.  \n although einstein never lived or worked in today\u2019s austria, his relations with the country were close  because he had long-standing friendships with austrian scientists and intellectuals. when in vienna, he always stayed with prof. felix ehrenhaft, the enfant terrible of viennese physics who was a gifted experimenter but a headstrong person. in honor of auguste piccard who was also in vienna, a musical evening was held at ehrenhaft's house during this visit in 1931 with erwin schrödinger (who received the nobel prize for physics in 1933) and his wife taking part and
