Literary Encyclopedia: Marie de France In “Le Fresne” the mother’s stupidity and fear of social disgrace because of unjustified slander almost led to tragedy for one of her daughters, le Fresne, because she had been taken to the woods as a baby to hide the fact that the mother had, like her slandered neighbor, also born twins. The lai concludes with a happy end because Le Fresne’s identity is suddenly revealed through a special bed sheet which then allows her to marry her beloved. Arrogance and stubbornness of a too-young lover can lead to both their death, as in “Les deux amanz”, but Marie also projected a remarkable wife who, having learned of her husband’s new love, rather withdraws into a convent and takes the veil than stand in the way of his happiness (“Eliduc”). www.literaryencyclopedia.com /php/speople.php?rec=true&UID=5494   (284 words)

Le Corbusier and Decoration Le Corbusier commented that the accelerated evolution in our time, forced decorative art to its decline, and 'observe that the almost hysterical rush in recent years towards quasi-orgiastic decoration is no more than the final spasm of an already foreseeable death'.
