Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Correspondence of Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford, and the Rev. William Mason, Vol. 2 of 2: Now First Published From the Original Mss She has scarce mentioned Rousseau, living or dead; and D´Alembert was egregiously mistaken in thinking she wrote my letter to him; Rousseau would have been still more offended had he known how very little she ever thought on him. She was born and had lived in the age of true taste, and allowed nobody but Voltaire to belong to it. She holds that all the rest have corrupted their taste and language. La Fontaine is her Idol; that is, simplicity is. But I shall not forget to answer you on the article of strawberries and cream. How very kind to caution me against them; and how kindly I take it! In truth I am very temperate now on that head, as well as on all others. I eat very little cream, remembering that my stomach is not so young as it was; but for wine, I am persuaded fruit never hurts me, unless wine is poured on it. Yet the other day I did drink two glasses. The excessive heat of the nights had exhausted me so much, that I had recourse to that cordial, and it quite restored me; it would not unless a novelty. I beg your pardon for talking on myself, but gratitude opened my heart. I feel your goodness with great satisfaction, for it could please me in no form more than yours; and I wished to prove to you that one you regard, is not childish.
