Have just encountered this incredible poetic tribute to Natalie Zemon Davis, written by her late husband Chandler Davis in 1975. By extension, it is a poem for so many historians and a wonderful reflection on what it is we do. Text version and credit to: www.history.ox.ac.uk/article/in-m...

Beautiful poem to Davis/I also liked this by David Bell davidabell.substack.com/p/natalie-ze... (Stone said reading "her work was like seeing fire arrows shot into a dark cave, illuminating the sides as they flew by/it struck me as very apt. Natalie Davis’s work was nothing if not an illumination.")
