  Il s'agit donc d'un droit, mais comme tout droit, son abus peut être sanctionné, au terme de la théorie de l'abus de droit. "La liberté consiste à pouvoir faire tout ce qui ne nuit pas à autrui" D'après Pierre Desproges: "on peut rire de tout mais pas avec n'importe qui". Ce qui amusera l'un risque de choquer l'autre. La portée de l'humour dépend du public et du sujet abordé. Ce qui juge le rire, c'est la nature des motivations dont il précède. Le rire peut être l'écho de tout ce qui...

In due course, Zeus gave birth to a boy, Dionysus, who is sometimes called Dithyrambus (Child of the Double Door), referring to his two births, once from his mother’s body and again from his father’s body. Some scholars believe that...

Ceux qui ont la possibilité de le devenir doivent de surcroit accomplir des étapes préalables. En effet, 3 groupes d'athéniens sont exclus de la citoyenneté. Les femmes sont considérés comme ayant des missions avant tout domestiques, liée...

• Robert Frost I INTRODUCTION Robert Frost Usually set amid the natural beauty of rural New England, the concise, direct poetry of American poet Robert Frost conveys a wide range of emotions.

  Frost's Collected Poems (1930) won him his second Pulitzer Prize. And his next two collections— A Further Range (1936) and A Witness Tree (1942)—also won Pulitzers. He then wrote two plays in blank verse. The first, A Masque of Reason (1945), received lukewarm praise from critics. The second, A Masque of Mercy (1947), which is a modern treatment of Christian biblical figures, was more successful. Frost's final volumes of poetry were Steeple Bush (1947) and In the Clearing (1962). Th...

Distracted by a crowd movement in the midst of his second shot, Jones topped the ball and sent it toward the pond guarding the green. Instead ofplopping into the water, the ball skidded over the water like a flat stone and landed on the bank. H...

Hope is indeed the keynote of Hugo's poetry. In the darkest days of 1871, when France was tearing out her own vitals and Paris was destroying itself, he could write thus: Les récits montrent l'un après l'autre leurs têtes, Car les évènements ont leur cap des Temp...

Most of it was actually composed byreligious writers after the early conversion of the people from their faith in the older Germanic divinities.
