Blind lovers in Franconville wed after sight restoration
An anecdote from a French periodical tells of two young blind lovers from Franconville whose families pressed harmony on them. A Paris oculist cures one, and in a twist of fate the operation favors the woman. She marries her lifelong companion, yet conceals the sight’s pleasures from him to spare his feelings. Additionally, a folk tip notes rag and oil mixtures hung on hedges protect young corn from birds.
