I tend to be not unsympathetic to rather uninterested in
complaints migrants, voluntary or not, make about cultural and linguistic displacement, since I knew by the age of fifteen that I didn’t want to be the American I was raised to be. I wanted out, myself. I did have some vague idea of the consequences.

Neumatt is miniseries turning around the dilemmas faced by bourgedis enterpreneurs, in this case family dairy farmers. There’sots of milk, plus a gamut of registers of Swiss German, a gay triangle, among other romantic / sexual relationships. Everyone ishappy in the end. Even the cows.

Three popular poets.  Rilke, Neruda, Rumi.

Like water language flows downhill, seeking the easist path.

Czar Vladimir Echoes Czar Nicolas

Nicholas’s answer was filled with grievances against the West. Nicholas shared Pogodin’s sense that Russia’s role as the protector of Orthodox Christians in the Ottoman Empire was not understood and that Russia was unfairly treated by the West. Nicholas especially approved of the following passage:[31]

France takes Algeria from Turkey, and almost every year England annexes another Indian principality: none of this disturbs the balance of power; but when Russia occupies Moldavia and Wallachia, albeit only temporarily, that disturbs the balance of power. France occupies Rome and stays there several years during peacetime: that is nothing; but Russia only thinks of occupying Constantinople, and the peace of Europe is threatened. The English declare war on the Chinese, who have, it seems, offended them: no one has the right to intervene; but Russia is obliged to ask Europe for permission if it quarrels with its neighbour. ….. We can expect nothing from the West but blind hatred and malice….
