Rest in Peace, Jacques Le Goff, Medieval Historian, Luminous Mind.

He is the author of this passage on the contrast between the true scholar and the professor:

“There is nothing more striking than the contrast between images which show the intellectual in the Middle Ages and the humanist at work. The former is a professor, caught up in his teaching (…) The other is a solitary scholar, in his calm chamber, at ease in the midst of the private, luxurious room where his thoughts can move freely about. The former shows the tumult of schools, the dust of classrooms, the collective worker’s indifference to beauty,

The latter shows all is order and beauty,

“Luxe calme et volupté”

I wish you eternal “Luxe calme et volupté”, Jacques Le Goff.
