NOS ÉCHOS
A l’Etranger :
Il paraît que Oscar Wilde sera prochainement autorisé à lire une heure par jour dans sa prison.
On lui a demandé quels livres il désirait, et il a choisi Saint-Thomas d’Aquin.
Quant au hard labour et à la fameuse roue de moulin que l’Esthète était condamné à faire mouvoir, il parait qu’on lui en a épargné le supplice.
Snob.
OUR ECHOES
Abroad :
It seems that Oscar Wilde will soon be allowed to read for an hour a day in his prison.
They asked him which books he wanted, and he chose Saint-Thomas d'Aquin.
As for hard plowing and the famous mill wheel that the Esthete was condemned to set in motion, it seems that he was spared the torture.
Snob.
