Suite et fin (durant cinquante minutes) de l’histoire d’Ali Baba, qui est bien plutôt celle de Morgiane, l’esclave pleine d’astuce et d’ingéniosité. A ce lointain propos, on ira voir la magnifique exposition Le Chant du monde que le musée du Louvre consacre à l’art de l’Iran safavide. On y verra des manuscrits illustrés magnifiquement, avec une richesse de détails et une précision qui ne peuvent être reproduites (et que ni le catalogue, ni les cartes postales éditées à cette occasion ne parviennent à reproduire). Certaines pièces sont magnifiques, notamment celles affichant en fond des couleurs fortes, mauves, roses, bleues ou vertes (par exemple la Page du manuscrit du Shāh-Nāme de Shāh Tahmāsp : Zāl à cheval lève les yeux vers l’aire du Sīmorgh), que l’ignorant de cet art que je suis ne prêtait pas à ce genre de dessins, dont j’avais une idée trop maniériste) Et ceux qui l’ont lu comprendront mi

Sunday, August 9, 1998 I woke up this morning with a need to get myself out of Paris. Unfortunately, my best option was the budget travel offices which were conveniently closed on Sundays. This means I’ll have to stay another night. Then, I’m hoping to take the train to Calais, France and the ferry to Dover, England. Those white Cliffs of Dover better be great! Right before I woke up this morning, I dreamed I was pissing. I woke up to find I had relieved myself in bed. I had wet my underwear, sleep sack, and even the mattress a little. Thank God I wasn’t wearing my shorts, they smell bad enough as it is. I went to the Louvre today. I felt like a real insider when I entered through the metro entrance. It was only about a ten minute air-conditioned wait. Once inside, I was overwhelmed with the size of the museum. I decided to only see the paintings. By the end, there were only fifteen to twenty paintings that I thought were worth the trip. They were by Delacroix, Geri

Paris's Louvre Museum warned that the wood on which the Mona Lisa was painted is bending.Her unknown identity has plagued art historians for centuries. Her enigmatic smile has seduced millions of art lovers. Now the mystery of the Mona Lisa is deepening. Earlier this week the Louvre Museum in Paris, where the Renaissance masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci is housed, warned that "the thin panel of poplar wood, on which this mythical image is painted, is more warped than it was previously." Its deterioration, they said, has aroused "some worry." Repairing the world's most famous artwork is no easy task, especially since da Vinci has an uncanny way of making life difficult for conservationists. Experts are unsure of the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state. "Basically nobody wants to touch it, because nobody wants to mess it up," said Henri Zerner, a French art history professor at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachussetts. "What if you—oops!
