• Métis - Canadian History.

  authority in the Northwest Rebellion. As in 1869, they were worried about title to their river lots, which were unsurveyed and were therefore omitted from the surveyadopted by the Department of the Interior. The Métis demanded a distribution of land and scrip, as had occurred in Manitoba after 1870. The Métis action at Batoche encouraged several bands of indigenous nations (Cree, Assiniboine, and Sioux) to take up arms. Threatened with a general rising across theNorthwest Territories, the Canadi...

• Confederation of Canada - Canadian History.

  Québec conference seemed in many ways to give Macdonald the centralized union he wanted. The federal government would control banking, finance, defense,transportation, and commerce among the provinces. It would also have far greater powers of taxation than the provincial governments would have. In private,Macdonald predicted that the central government would be so strong that it would soon swallow up the provinces completely. Yet the Québec resolutions were vague or contradictory enough to give...

• Contes de la bécasse Devant nous la Seine se déroulait, ondulante, semée d'îles, bordée à droite de blanches falaises que couronnait une forêt, à gauche de prairies immenses qu'une autre forêt limitait, là-bas, tout là-bas.

  Comme les revenus fournis par la Patronne ne lui semblaient point suffisants, il a annexé à la Vierge principale un petit commerce de Saints. II les tient tous ou presque tous. La place manquant dans la chapelle, il les a emmagasinés au bûcher, d'où il les sort sitôt qu'un fidèle les demande. Il a façonné lui-même ces statuettes de bois, invraisemblablement comiques, et les a peintes toutes en vert à pleine couleur, une année qu'on badigeonnait sa maison.

• Vous expliquerez et préciserez ces lignes extraites d'un article du critique Émile Henriot sur le livre de Jean Rousset consacré à La Littérature de l'âge baroque en France (1953) : «Le baroque est un art solide, massif, membré ; la préciosité est une afféterie, un jeu salonnier de la pointe, moins que rien... Cependant baroque et précieux parfois se rencontrent. Comme le baroque et le classique ; comme se rencontreront, sans nécessairement se confondre, le baroque et le romantique...»

En revanche, le tapis graminéen est particulièrement développé. L'exemple de la prairie américaine l'illustre bien. À ce type de...

  deux pauvres créatures ; si j'ai commis un péché en tuant un inquisiteur et un jésuite, je l'ai bien réparé en sauvant la vie à deux filles. Ce sont peut-être deux demoiselles de condition, et cette aventure nous peut procurer de très grands avantages dans le pays. » Il allait continuer, mais sa langue devint percluse quand il vit ces deux filles embrasser tendrement les deux singes, fondre en larmes sur leurs corps et remplir l'air des cris les plus douloureux. « Je ne m'attendais pas à tant de...

• Promenades autour d'un village jeunesse, j'ai vu intact et merveilleusement frais et fleuri de sculptures, aujourd'hui troué, informe, démantelé et dressant encore dans les airs des âtres à encadrements fleuronnés d'un beau travail.

  Je n'avais jamais eu le loisir de faire cette marche qui est de quatre heures au moins, la plupart du temps sans chemin frayé sur le roc tranchant ou sur les pierres aiguës. Mais, malgré l'effroyable chaleur engouffrée dans les méandres de la gorge, nous ne songeâmes point à regretter d'avoir entrepris cette dure promenade. C'est le paradis et le chaos que l'on trouve tour à tour; c'est une suite ininterrompue de tableaux adorables ou grandioses, changeant d'aspect à chaque pas, car la rivière e...
