Summary
| Description |
Library of Congress description: "Print shows monks and nuns enjoying their new found liberty, some are loading possessions onto horses and wagons, some embrace, one couple kisses while another rides off together on horseback." Translation: "Decree of the National Assembly which dissolved all orders of monks and nuns. Tuesday, February 16, 1790. How happy is this day, my sisters! Yes, the peaceful names of "mother" and "wife" are much preferable to that of "nun", they give you all the Rights of Nature, thus to us." The speaker is a former monk, addressing the former nuns. The humor of the original derives from the deliberate ambiguity about whether the monk is talking about his being given the Rights of Nature, or the nuns themselves. |
