Remains of Napoleon Memorial Voice From 1840
A column contemplates Napoleon’s remains and France’s desire to reclaim his ashes. The speaker argues for keeping his bones in the exile rock tomb as a protest against French vanity and mockery, urging true greatness through national fidelity rather than display. June 2, 1840.

Funeral of a Moth and a Child’s Quiet Vision
A short prose piece contrasts a Norwegian legislature’s plain, workmanlike appearance with a child observing a death procession of a moth. It then follows a haunting, lyrical vignette where moths perform a funeral rite for the dead insect, with undertaker figures and a choral refrain about rest and loss.
The Highwayman and the Antediluvian Child
