The Last Temptation of John Daniel Begg.

 
As years advance day on day, unmercifully, toward an end certain, but not specifically dated, I find that the only remaining irresistible temptation and passion I have left is:

I suppose, I hope, Jesus will be gracious enough to forgive me for indulging this last true passion of a lifetime, a lifetime in which there have been many, many, other passions, keen desires, now past, now so thoroughly, spent.
 I am edified to know that I have a Royal companion at my ice cream bar with whom to rub elbows:
Rex Papa Francisco.

I pray that Jesus will be kind enough to look more favorably on my surrender to my last temptation in life, when He notices that I have a Royal comrade who has likewise surrendered to the magical power of:

      Saint Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic parochial school, called, by anyone of any background, simply: “Chan~al,” a place where, of an autumn day in 1957, school,  for me,  began and ended in the first convening of the first grade in which a tiny nun, one Sister Dom Bosco, appeared before me, just behind the window appearing at far left of this photograph, and piped out this: “I may be small, but so then, is the Atom Bomb.”
      ~~
      My determination to escape school commenced immediately on hearing about this Atom Bomb business and took 16 dicey and arduous years to finally accomplish.~~

      “Jean-Marie Le Pen is a friend. He is dangerous for the political set because he’s the only one who’s sincere. He says out loud what many people think deep down, and what the politicians refrain from saying because they are either too demagogic or too chicken. Le Pen, with all his faults and qualities, is probably the only one who thinks about the interests of France before his own.”~~
