La fille aux cheveux de lin is a musical composition by French composer Claude Debussy. It is the eighth piece in the composer’s first book of Préludes, written between late 1909 and early 1910. The title is in French and translates roughly to “The Girl with the Flaxen Hair”. The piece is 39 measures long and takes approximately two and a half minutes to play. It is in the key of G♭ major.

The piece, named after the eponymous poem by Leconte de Lisle, is known for its musical simplicity, a divergence from Debussy’s style at the time. Completed in January 1910, it was published three months later and premiered in June of that same year. The prelude is one of the most recorded pieces of Debussy’s, both in its original version and in subsequent various arrangements. 🎵

In the judiciary, the situation is even worse, with around three-quarters of top judges having gone to private school. In journalism, things are going backwards, with more journalists now coming from private schools than in 1987 (51% compared to 49%). This is what sociologists call “elite self-reproduction” – the practice of privileged individuals ensuring that privilege is passed on to their children using social infrastructure.

“I’m ninety but I feel like I’m fifty. I don’t take any medicine. I never complain. I’m just happy to be alive. I tell people: ‘Start with what you have, not with what you want.’ Every day I dance for two hours. And I’m still really interesting too. I love politics and literature. I love the sciences. And I’ve got a boyfriend named Alexander. We exchange books. I don’t even know how old he is.” (Moscow, Russia)

Pink Floyd ~ Breathe in the Air (Long Version) / The Great Gig in the Sky

Breathe, breathe in the air Don’t be afraid to care Leave, but don’t leave me Look around Choose your own ground

Long you live and high you fly And smiles you’ll give and tears you’ll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be

Run, rabbit run Dig that hole, forget the sun And when at last the work is done Don’t sit down It’s time to dig another one

For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the biggest wave You race towards an early grave ——————–

“And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I Don’t mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There’s no reason for it, you’ve gotta go sometime. ” “I never said I was frightened of dying.”
