Dater Bellechaise. Chroniques du Mont Saint-Michel et chronologie architecturale by Yves Gallet

“…While historians of the abbey, from the 17th century unto Édouard Corroyer, Paul Gout and their successors, have seen the work as dating to 1257 and as a separate construction site from the building of the Merveille, the analysis of textual evidence, combined with an examination of the construction techniques and the architectural style, leads us to propose an earlier date, contemporaneous to the work on the Merveille and to the creation of the new portal of the abbey church. …”

‘The silent Arachnes that weave unrestingly in our Imagination’: The Industrial Metaphoric Web in Thomas Carlyle’s Sartor Resartus by Marie Laniel

“…However, because they connect the realm of matter and the realm of poetry, Carlyle’s Arachnes also epitomize the workings of imagination, the transformative power of poetic language in the face of change and the capacity of ‘symbolic systems’ to ‘make’ and ‘remake’ the world—to quote Paul Ricœur’s The Rule of Metaphor. The web they spin materialises the ‘tensional’ quality of metaphoric truth, the ‘tensive aliveness’ of the metaphoric process.…”
