"Sonnet 4 - Unthrifty Loveliness, Why Dost Thou Spend..." by William Shakespeare (poetry reading)
Shakespeare was fond of puns. At the time this was written, the word "spend" at the end of the first line had a double meaning. It meant to ejaculate. They had the idea that the body made only a limited supply of procreative fluid - and that it deteriorated in quality with expenditure.

It's interesting that they were aware that se

Déconcerté par ce pillage et soucieux d’éclairer les jugements, Saint Augustin décide alors de mener à bien son projet déjà ancien de composer une fresque théologique.
Il compose ainsi La cité de Dieu, œuvre qui oppose la cité terrestre et la cité céleste et qui

Islam de France, Islam en France - Bernard Godard (video)
L’implantation de la religion musulmane en France est une réalité qui rend le débat sur sa nature exogène ou endogène un peu dépassé.
