Re the image, photo in a dead man's/woman's eye: it would be helpful to
have something of a context AND the original. But: perhaps it relates
to the more or less common practice of photographing dead people? (A la
death mask.)

Subject: La Rochefoucauld: Maxims
Does anyone know of any university courses in which La Rochefoucauld's
*Maximes* are used (either in the original or in translation), other
than in straight seventeenth-century French literature courses? Or is
it only the mythical 'general reader' who now reads this delightful
author? I should be very grateful for any information. With thanks.
