Because he believed that the God of the Old Testament loved the Jews exclusively, Marcion rejected the entire Old Testament and also those new covenant writings that he thought favored Jewish readers—for example, Matthew, Mark, Acts, and Hebrews
Marcion’s selectively Christian views were firmly repudiated by the church in Rome, and Marcion was excommunicated from the church in AD 144. Before long, however, Marcionite churches appeared, modeled on orthodox congregations. They had their own ministers and rituals. For example, they did not use wine at communion, as a result of their ascetic emphasis. Some of the Marcionite beliefs spilled over into the various Gnostic sects, and Marcionites were themselves affected by Gnostic views.

Charles was teasing and gesticulating before the fifteen-year-old Duchesse de Berry when Louis d’Orléans and Philippe de Bar, arriving from dissipations elsewhere, entered the hall accompanied by torches despite the ban. Whether to discover who the dancers were, or deliberately courting danger—accounts of the episode differ—Louis held up a torch over the capering monsters. A spark fell, a flame flickered up a leg, first one dancer was afire, then another. The Queen, who alone knew that Charles was among the group, shrieked and fainted. The Duchesse de Berry, who had recognized the King, threw her skirt over him to protect him from the sparks, thus saving his life.
Except for the King, only the Sire de Nantouillet, who flung himself into a large wine-cooler filled with water, escaped. The Count de Joigny was burned to death on the spot, Yvain de Foix and Aimery Poitiers died after two days of painful suffering.

little by little the night turns around
counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
lotus's lean on each other in yearning
over the hills a swallow is resting

knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow
love is the shadow that ripens the wine
set the controls for the heart of the sun
the heart of the sun
the heart of the sun
witness the man who waves at the wall

whether the sun will fall in the evening
will he remember the lesson of giving?

the heart of the sun
