FRENCH EXPLICATION DE TEXTE from Spleen et Ideal de Baudelaire: Ciel Brouille On dirait ton regard d ' une vapeur couvert; Ton oeil lnysterieux (est-il bleu, gris, ou vert? ) Alternativement tendre, reveur, cruel, Reflechit Vindolence et la paleur du ciel. Spleen et Ideal: the culminating superrational antithesis of Baudelaire ' s experience. He has de- cided on the origin of the Real. Ciel Brouille: rough translation: broiled sky . Fine translation: broiled sky . Baudelaire syn- thesizes the senses or, as the French would say, senthesize les sinses. The sky looks well done. One could say your regard was of a covered steam : again this continuous, all-pervasive sense of broiling. Your eye mysterious, is he blue, grey, or green? : This question is always bothering Bau- delaire. He was color-blind. Alternately tender, dreamy, cruel : throughout his life Baudelaire was to be captivated by what may be termed the Jeckel-Hyde fype. It takes one to know one. Reflects the indolence and paleness of the sky : We must guard against interpreting this poem as the mere expression of a great Hunger. Au con- traire. Baudelaire means to give the distinct im- pression that he has lost his appetite. The broiled sky, surrounded by slices of lemon and parsley springs, its glassy eye (alternately tender, dreamy, cruel) now pale, is not only indolent but cold. He has waited too long. He feels nothing but Spleen. JANINE GISELE DAUDON ELLEN MARY CASSATT HARE

(15 minutes) PHYSICS ELECTRICITY — 3 HOURS From the apparatus in front of you select two large dry-cells. Connect in series with Key (or Switch), Rheostat, Ammeter, Voltmeter, Galvan- ometer, Geiger Counter, and a Wheatstone Bridge. Introduce into circuit a torque, a dipole, and the yolks of two ergs. Take Ammeter reading. This should equal the sum of Young ' s Modulus, Planck ' s Constant, Loschmidt ' s Number, and your age last birthday. If Ammeter is not work- ing, take it out of circuit and substitute cigarette lighter. Check wiring with Circuit Diagram. Remove Wheatstone Bridge. Now you have two loose ends of wire. Attach one to Dr. Patterson ' s belt-buckle. Braid the other into Dr. Michael ' s beard. Make sure they are both standing perfectly still. Then step back and throw the switch. FRANCES LOUISE NAFE
