He speaks French well enough to address the Académie; he speaks English as well as a cultivated American, and no one speaks it more distinctly, more crisply, more trippingly upon the tongue, these days; he preaches a capital sermon; he is an accomplished binder of books; he is a successful and enthusiastic farmer, and he is frankly audacious in his loves and hatreds, his ambitions and his beliefs.
Pericles, who had wrapped himself impenetrably in the bear, burst from his cogitation suddenly to cry out, in his harshest foreign accent: "Yeaz!" And thereupon he threw open the folds, and laid out a forefinger, and delivered himself: "I am made my mind! I send her abroad to ze Academie for one, two, tree year. She shall be instructed as was not before. Zen a noise at La Scala. No Paris!
It will be a kind of local branch of the Academie, and the Academicians will be better paid in the Wooden Galleries than at the Institut." "'Tis an idea," said Blondet. "A bad idea," returned Dauriat.
She was the widow of a member of the 'Academie des Inscriptions', and plumed herself upon her illustrious widowhood. She was sweet and modest in her black gown and her beautiful white hair. Madame Martin said to M. Daniel Salomon that she wished to consult him particularly on the picture of a group of beautiful children. "You will tell me if it pleases you.
The performers of the ci-devant Academie de Musique immediately established themselves in this new asylum, which is situated in the Rue de la Loi, facing the National Library, and opened it to the public under the name of Theatre des Arts. I must observe, by the way, that, in France, all players, dancers, musicians, and every one who exercises an art, are now styled artistes.
Concerns are floated here, such and such a man Palma, for instance, who is something the same here as Sinard at the Academie Royale des Sciences Palma says, "let the speculation be made!" and the speculation is made." "What a man that Hebrew is," put in Blondet; "he has not had a university education, but a universal education.
When Liszt, in an attempt to make clear the important influence of France on European culture, mentioned as an instance the French Academie, Karl again indulged in his fatal smile. This exasperated Liszt beyond all bounds, and in his reply he included some such phrase as this: 'If we are not prepared to admit this, what do we prove ourselves to be?
The Abbe de Caumartin rejoiced at the success of the snare he had laid, and felt quite bold enough to deliver his harangue. The day came. The Academie was crowded. The King and the Court were there, all expecting to be diverted. M. de Noyon, saluting everybody with a satisfaction he did not dissimulate, made his speech with his usual confidence, and in his usual style.
Here is a closed garden, which on the side of the lilies and white roses has, I imagine, a small gate opening on the road to the Academie." Choulette relished these phrases, mingled in his mouth with the perfume of whiskey, and replaced carefully the letter in its book. Madame Martin congratulated the poet on being Madame Raymond's candidate.
I have waited to speak of him until the time when the Académie was ready to replace him, that is to say, put some one in his place, for great artists are never replaced. Others succeed them with their own individual and different powers, but they do not take their places nevertheless. Malibran has never been replaced, nor Madame Viardot, Madame Carvalho, Talma and Rachel.
