Reviving this quote from the historian Marc Bloch, killed in 1944 while resisting the Nazis in France. #medievalsky

"I think our country sinks beneath the yoke.
It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash
Is added to her wounds."
(Macbeth, 4.3.45-47)

In honor of Marc Bloch’s entry into the Panthéon, some encouraging words from The Historian’s Craft, which he wrote nearly 80 years ago while fighting with the French Resistance, just months before the Nazis captured and later executed him. #medievalsky
