I was for some reason angry at Rockyfeller I think I had a curious notion that if I couldn't have a light after "lumieres eteintes" and if my very good friends were none of them allowed to have one, then, by God! neither should Rockyfeller. "It is useless to sleep," said One Eyed Dah-veed in French and Spanish. "True," I agreed; "therefore, let's make all the noise we can."
In fact, the only thing in which Jones succeeded was to prove in a decisive manner that the ancient Persians were not equal to the lumières of the eighteenth century, and that the authors of the "Avesta" had not read the "Encyclopédie."

At the canteen he had purchased a large number of candles in addition to a great assortment of dainties which he and Judas were busily enjoying when the planton came up, counted us twice, divided by three, gave the order "Lumieres eteintes," and descended, locking the door behind him. Everyone composed himself for miserable sleep.
Clough says, justly, in his Preface, that his own work would not have been needed, had not Mr. Ses oeuvres sont une mine inépuisable de lumieres et de connaissance; c'est vraiment l'encyclopédie des anciens." Nor is it merely the common mass of readers who have chosen Plutarch as their favorite ancient. The list of great and famous men who have made him their companion is a long one.
