A meeting of the society is held every year, when prizes are distributed to the authors of the best compositions in prose and verse. It somewhat resembles the annual meeting of the Eisteddfod, held for awarding prizes to the bards and composers of Wales. The following was his impromptu to the savants of Toulouse, 4th July, 1840: "Oh, bon Dieu! que de gloire! Oh, bon Dieu! que d'honneurs!
Does he guess at the distance he is above the earth? If this were so, then it is very evident that there would be great difficulty in awarding a prize to a number of competitors each trying to ascend higher than his rivals.

To miss modern art is to miss one of the few thrills that life holds. Your true decadent copies the past and closes his eyes to the insistent vibrations of his day.
