Re: Enlightened Souls

which uses actually both nicknames for your favourite envoy:

Nice, thank you! Headcanon that in 1736 he became the envoy formerly known as Diablotin, as Fritz shifted to calling him Diaphane. ;) (For which readers of my fic know what my headcanon is.)

Now because she really wrote a lot, I haven't been able to find more than a quote from the Émilie poem so far

See Fritzian Library, Contemporary Documents, Gottsched_Chatelet_Zwo_Schriften.pdf. I agree it was not trivial to find! 11 tabs and 15 minutes later, here you go. :) (That's much more than usual, though nothing beats Peter Keith's eulogy--that one was crazy and only a fic would have made me put in that much effort.)

I didn't mean it as a request for you to find them for me! Just that whenever I'm like "I've never seen X," I know that it is just a matter of time before you find stuff for me :D

See, [personal profile] cahn, I *know* you weren't asking me to find pictures of Fritz smiling. *Obviously* you weren't. :P But saying you can't find something and asking me to find something are waaaay too close in my brain. My wife teases me about my compulsion to look things up. She jokes that if you casually observe that the capital of France is Paris, I'll be on my smartphone a second later googling that just to be sure. It's who I am!

Anyway, I look forward to further findings on the Gottsched/Châtelet front!
