Je me déshabille je fais ma toilette de nuit, monsieur et je vais maintenant m'agenouiller et faire ma prière. Donc bon soir et bonne nuit " And, too low for him to hear even the faintest breathing whisper of her voice "Good-night. I love you with all my heart with all my heart in my own fashion."
After this masterstroke of the Comic, you not only put faith in Orgon's roseate prepossession, you share it with him by comic sympathy, and can listen with no more than a tremble of the laughing muscles to the instance he gives of the sublime humanity of Tartuffe: 'Un rien presque suffit pour le scandaliser, Jusque-la, qu'il se vint l'autre jour accuser D'avoir pris une puce en faisant sa priere, Et de l'avoir tuee avec trop de colere.
Faute de vins d'elite, Sabler ceux du canton: Preferer Marguerite Aux dames du grand ton: De joie et de tendresse Remplir tous ses instans; Eh gai! c'est la sagesse Du gros Roger-Bontemps. Dire au ciel: Je me fie, Mon pere, a ta bonte; De ma philosophie Pardonne le gaite Que ma saison derniere Soit encore un printemps; Eh gai! c'est la priere Du gros Roger-Bontemps.
La Mennais says, in his Paroles d'un Croyant, that "Il y a toujours des vents brulants, qui passent sur l'ame de l'homme, et la dessechant. La priere est la rosee qui la rafraichit." And, again, "Dieu sait mieux que vous ce dont vous avez besoin, et c'est pour cela qu'il veut que vous le lui demandiez; car Dieu est lui-meme votre premier besoin, et prier Dieu, c'est commencer a posseder Dieu."

Dans l'Elysee assis, près du cef des Césars, Ou dans le ciel, peutêtre entre Bellone et Mars. Fais-moi te suivre en tout, exauce ma prière; Puis se-je ainsi remplir, et finir ma carrière." The application to the immediate circumstances of those brave gentlemen was painfully direct.
seems to be correctly described as "Oratio Gallfridi Chaucer"; and in "Chaucers A. B. C., Called La Priere de Notre Dame," a translation by him from a French original, we have a long address to the Blessed Virgin in twenty-three stanzas, each of which begins with one of the letters of the alphabet arranged in proper succession.
Even Frederick the Great was forced to see at last in the Patriarch of Ferney something more than a monkey with a genius for French versification. He actually came to respect the author of Akakia, and to cherish his memory. 'Je lui fais tous les matins ma prière, he told d'Alembert, when Voltaire had been two years in the grave; 'je lui dis, Divin Voltaire, ora pro nobis.
"Boy!" cried the father, and named the place, but we know it not; neither know we its inhabitants. Victor Hugo includes them in his "Children's Prayer," in his beautiful poem, "La Prière pour Tous." The child prays for all, even "for those who sell the sweet name of love." "Let us be silent with each other!" said the son. "I am acquainted with many histories. I know another of the pretty Eva!"
