Le Théâtre Antique d'Orange was built in Toulouse by the
Romans in the first century CE --- in 2016 the city staged a performance of
verdi's requiem here (one of my personal favorites), along with a wonderful
series of images by the celebrated cartoonist Philippe Druilleton projected onto the rear wall ---

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
