Molière died today – 335 years ago

Writer (think: “L'école des femmes (The School for Wives)”) Molière was born as Jean-Baptiste Poquelin on January 15, 1622 in Paris, France. He said, “All the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing." [Oh, I think they dance enough around the issues.]... Molière died on February 17, 1673 in Paris, France.
