Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Last Years of Louis XV To live the life of the dead, to study an epoch thoroughly, to identify one´s self with personage and become familiar with their habits, ideas, passions, tastes, fashions, prejudices, is a sort of metempsychosis, an incarnation. To attain it, one must isolate himself from his own time, and, forgetting that he is himself, must imagine that he is another. At first one lends but slight attention to the details given by the memoirs of the times to which he wishes to transport himself, to the minutiæ of every sort which are only seen as through a glass. But after a while, you begin to be captivated by all these petty facts, this daily tittle-tattle, and the past assumes a second actuality. It seems as if you knew intimately the actors in the piece of which you are giving yourself a representation. You think you hear their voices and watch the play of their countenances, and you become the courtier of palaces, the holder of season tickets to theatres, the habitué of the salons you are seeking to revive.
