Snow In New Orleans
* * * *
Everything in New Orleans is a good idea. Bijou temple-type cottages and lyric cathedrals side by side. Houses and mansions, structures of wild grace. Italianate, Gothic, Romanesque, Greek Revival standing in a long line in the rain. Roman Catholic art. Sweeping front porches, turrets, cast-iron balconies, colonnades- 30-foot columns, gloriously beautiful- double pitched roofs, all the architecture of the whole wide world and it doesn't move. All that and a town square where public executions took place. In New Orleans you could almost see other dimensions. There's only one day at a time here, then it's tonight and then tomorrow will be today again. Chronic melancholia hanging from the trees. You never get tired of it. After a while you start to feel like a ghost from one of the tombs, like you're in a wax museum below crimson clouds. Spirit empire. Wealthy empire. One of Napoleon's generals, Lallemaud, was said to have come here to check it out, looking for a place for his commander to seek refuge after Waterloo. He scouted around and left, said that here the devil is damned, just like everybody else, only worse. The devil comes here and sighs. New Orleans. Exquisite, old-fashioned. A great place to live vicariously. Nothing makes any difference and you never feel hurt, a great place to really hit on things. Somebody puts something in front of you here and you might as well drink it. Great place to be intimate or do nothing. A place to come and hope you'll get smart - to feed pigeons looking for handouts”
― Bob Dylan, Chronicles, Volume One
After the Confederates were defeated in the US Civil War and Robert E Lee’s forces surrendered in 1865, many of them sailed across the Atlantic and sought sanctuary in a rather unexpected place: Stratford-upon-Avon, in the English county of Warwickshire. Islam Issa says: “The county became a hub for Confederates in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. And many people don’t know this but specifically Leamington Spa, just north of Stratford, attracted a lot of Confederates.”
We need to destroy the Left! “Dr Rainville” probably a man just destroyed a monument to Traveller a horse of Robert E Lee. Garbage ! Complete Garbage! Photo credit: the Virginia Project
Lee’s Gettysburg Headquarters were restored by the Civil War Trust and it was originally the home of Mary Thompson. The Civil War Trust has since gone woke and even changed their name but we do thank them for their sadly woke work. Even the doghouse is the same as what was pictured in period photos. Also see R. E. Lee’s HQ FLAG!
