Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pastels: With Illustration by a Robaudi Even that elegance, the commonness of which is proclaimed in the saying, "To-day everybody dresses well," remains also a privilege. In fact, at whatever point of view we place ourselves, of matter or manner, of principle or decoration, the pretended confusion of classes, ordinarily the object of dithyrambics, or of the satires of moralists, appear as such only to superficial eyes. The aristocracy of titles, and that of manners - they are distinct - remain shut against intruders, as securely, if not more so, than in the last century, when a simple talent for conversation permitted a Rivarol or a Chamfort to dine with the finest gentlemen; when the Prince de Ligned entertained the adventurer Casanova; when the great lords spent, as a prelude to the night of the Fourth of August, other nights of impurely levelling license.
