    Lettre de Cachet.

    What a world of prurient corruption lies visible in that super-sublime of modesty.

    Yet on the whole, our good St Pierre is musical, poetical, though most morbid: we will call his book the swan-song of old dying France.

    would you see me origami

    Half-weary of a world which is more than half-weary of him; in dull smoke and ashes of outburnt sensualities does he live and digest.

    Tell him that hopefully, better days will come! They always do, even if it takes some time.

    Deed of unhallowed darkness, such as despotism loves.
