Cartesius Page #2

---

to conclude this reading of optics.

I know and tomorrow you

are leaving the college.

Ah, it's Della Porta again.

You love physics very much

But truthfully, have you always

been diligent in every subject?

I was a pupil of this

college for nine years,

and I don't think there is another place

in world, where they teach philosophy better,

but you are correct,

the new sciences

are the ones I loved the most.

You want to become a mathematician,

astronomy, isn't that true?

Yes, but my father ordered

me to take the Diploma in Law

at Poitiers University, and

law doesn't interest me at all.

What are you going to do then?

I don't know yet...

Father, I will try to find out.

Give me your news when you can,

I wouldn't like not

knowing any more about you,

the important thing however,

is for you not to get lost in the world

and to do everything

for the greater glory of God.

Of course.

I'll try not to get lost.

Ah the ''Angelus''.

Let's go.

Straightaway after,

I'll get back to reading.

The King's guards have

killed her husband,

Grand Marshal Dams,

the leader of the government.

The faults of bad

government are his.

She was the black

soul of her husband.

The two Italians, with

the Queen's favour

expected to govern France.

I know that Luigi XIII

has given proof of great ability,

he's got rid of them and

the people are satisfied.

Is Mr Le Vasseur at home?

Yes Sir.

Rene Descartes, Landlord of Peron.

Let him in.

I've been awaiting you for several days.

How's your father?

He wrote to me...

But truly...

I don't know sir,

I come from far away,

from La Turenne.

I haven't seen him

for more than two months.

Unfortunately you have

found much excitement at Paris.

Oh, I don't know the

intrigues of court,

but it seems right to me

that the young king

wants to govern himself

rather than letting

an intriguing courtier do so.

Yes, you're right.

What do you intend to

do now that you're in Paris?

What plans do you have?

I could help you.

I've already told

that to my father.

I would really like no one to help me.

I have decided...

not to start any career.

I need to wait still.

But then if you are undecided,

you'll need some help.

No, because I'm

absolutely not undecided.

I just want to find out by myself,

alone...

how this world is made up.

Paris, for example.

Since I left the college

I've realised

that I've learned nothing

that might be useful to me

in life.

Good God

how I adore your hair,

it's like gentle

waves on your forehead.

and it caresses your beauty gently

and it makes me

jealous when I kiss you.

Your mouth is amber and pink,

but your words will

cut me to the quick
