Le plan de Rome (Nino Ferrer, ti amo nino)
" Bon voilà ton plan ", dit-elle" Tu vas te lever avec tes longues jambes de cow-boy,pour appuyer sur la gâchette de la lampe, "et elle se retourna sur le ventre pour se préparer à dormir.C'était à Rome, dans la petite maison de la Campanella,avec le bruit des gens qui réparaient des voitures dans la rue,ou qui construisaient des meubleset d'autres choses bruyantes et pittoresques.Il faisait chaud et beauet le tendre vent qui venait des rues à l'ombrecaressait ses jambes et ses cuissescar elle était nue sous sa robe bleueet se tordait les chevilles en marchantsur les pavésde ses talons trop hautspour une aussi jeune fille.Mais c'était avant qu'elle ne mente,avant qu'elle ne fasse l'amouravec un autre mec, avec qui elle le faisait déjàavant qu'elle ne le fasse avec moiet après ça ne pouvait plus être exactement commec'était avant...
Le plan de Gilbert Romme
Gilbert Romme (March 26, 1750–June 17, 1795) was a French politician.
He was born in Riom, Auvergne, where he received an education in medicine and mathematics. After spending five years in Paris he went to Russia to become the tutor of Paul Stroganoff. He returned to Paris in 1788 and entered political life.
He was a member of the Masonic lodge, Les Neuf Sœurs.
Elected in September 10, 1791 to the Legislative Assembly, he aligned himself with the Girondists, but after his election to the National Convention on September 6, 1792, he sided with the Montagnards.
He voted in favour of the death sentence for Louis XVI. Later, in the events leading up to the Reign of Terror, he was arrested by Girondist supporters and was imprisoned in Caen for two months.
During his tenure in National Convention, he served in the Comité de l’instruction Publique (Committee of Public Education), where he presented his Republican calendar on September 17, 1793. Aware of their military importance, he also was an early supporter of semaphore telegraphs. He served as president of the Convention from November 21 to December 6, 1793.
Because he was on an assignment to organise gun production for the navy, he had no hand in the coup of 9 Thermidor an II (July 27, 1794), which resulted in the fall of the Robespierre (and ultimately led to the return of the Girondists).
When rioting sans-culottes, demanding bread and the Jacobin constitution, violently occupied the Convention on Prairial an III (May 20, 1795), he supported their demands. This insurrection was quickly put down however, and he and other Montagnards were arrested. While waiting for their trial, the defendants agreed to commit suicide in case of a death sentence.
On Prairial 29 (June 17, 1795), Romme and five others were sentenced to the guillotine. With a knife hidden by Jean-Marie Goujon, he stabbed himself repeatedly while on the staircase leading from the courtroom, and died — his last words are reported to have been "I die for the republic".
In Romme le Montagnard (1833), Marc de Vissac described Romme as a small, awkward and clumsy man with an ill complexion, and a dull orator, but also as possessing a pleasant and instructive style of conversation.
The Republican calendar year began at the autumn equinox and had twelve months of 30 days each, which were given new names based on nature:
