'And this costume of an Oriental Queen do you think it will become me, my love, asked her mother.
"And why should he not have been here with me?" she said, smoothing the fur on her jacket with her white hand. "Woman! are you out of your mind?" "I am in full possession of my senses," she replied, and a knowing smile hovered round her red voluptuous lips. "But must I not also do my part, in order that Messias may come and redeem us poor Jews?"
The same severe proscription he extended to every sort of furniture, or decorations of art, which sheltered even in the bosom of camps those habits of effeminate luxury so apt in all great empires to steal by imperceptible steps from the voluptuous palace to the soldier's tent following in the equipage of great leading officers, or of subalterns highly connected.
The sudden change from the rough vicissitudes of campaigning life to all the luxury and voluptuous elegance of a brilliant court, created too much confusion in my mind to permit of my impressions being the most accurate or most collected.

The first sight, even in a poor copy, of the two Discoboli Diana with her swinging knee-high tunic the winged Victory of Samothrace to see them first at seventeen, without warning, without a glimmering knowledge of their existence!
