Parisian mourns many figures across a calendar
A humorous old world almanac tale follows a Frenchman who mourns events and figures from 1431 Joan of Arc to 1789 Bayard and 1815 Napoleon, with dates arcing through May, July, and other months. The piece blends jokes with commentary on language, wheat history, vanity, and inns, ending with light quips from the era.
