Sarthe (French pronunciation: [saʁt]) is a French department, named after the Sarthe River.
The department was created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790, pursuant to the law of December 22, 1789, starting from a part of the province of Maine which was divided into two departments, Sarthe to the east and Mayenne to the west.
In Roman Times, this province contained the city of Mans, and many of its ruins are still left standing. The Thermal Bathhouse attracts many tourists, as does the Theater of Aubigné-Racan, both located on the outskirts of Anjou, Maine, and Touraine.
Marin Mersenne, perhaps the most important scientific figure in the early 1600s, was born in the vicinity of Sarthe.
The department of Sarthe is at the north end of the administrative region of Pays-de-la-Loire. This places it south of Basse-Normandie and on the south edge of the Armorican Massif. It is bordered by the departments of Orne, Eure-et-Loir, Loir-et-Cher, Indre-et-Loire, Maine-et-Loire and Mayenne.
Approximately 300,000 people, comprising more than half of the department's population, live in Le Mans, its conurbation or the essentially urban communes close by. The rest of the department retains its rural character, however, being dominated economically by agriculture.
Will you pass on this moment
To experience the world as it is
As corrupt as it may be
Still affords you the chance to exist
Exist
A precious commodity if you focus
On present without presiding times
We have never been the stewards of this life
Merely fleeting
Perfection cannot be followed
Nor is it an endeavor for this life
see through my eyes
Scale or size matter not to the many
Only shots in the dark
The overseer of nothing
Controlling one at a time
Welcome
Welcome to a level idea of consequence
Ignore your brothers as aggressors
And let your time he play out as it should
