Bless you! I'm currently reading Rousseau's Confessions for the first time.

Well, if you found the chatter annoying in the Pantheon, then I wouldn't want to contribute. I was there mostly off season and was usually alone in any given area. Perhaps reading on the steps and then a walk inside. It's occurred to me that perhaps a little slice of Rousseau would be nice to have the students read since they will be at his tomb there. If you had to choose a few short pages of Rousseau as the one exposure a group of students would have to his actual words, what would you choose?
