Lady Ludlow's appalling snobbery, prejudice and bred-in-the-bone conviction as to the superiority of the English aristocracy and their feudal way of life are deliciously tested, and found wanting, in this gently radical tale of the collapse of a social system. Elizabeth Gaskell's My Lady Ludlow is a brilliant picture of the shift in power in a rural northern village, from the velvety feudal Ludlows to the glitter of the new money rattling through the system courtesy of the brazen baker from Birmingham.

Enregistrée par Pierre Bellemare dans la Cathédrale de Périgueux. "La Passion", de Charles Péguy, est extraite du "Mystère de la charité de Jeanne d'Arc". La Passion est l'acte physique le plus métaphysique de la Bible, sur lequel repose toute la culture des sociétés de l'Occident chrétien, fondée en partie sur l'idée de culpabilité héritée de ce martyre.
Le texte de Charles Péguy met en scène une réflexion lyrique tout à fait opposée à la pensée Saint-Sulpicienne, qui ne s'empare pas de la dimension humaine des événements bibliques.
