Some one had just told me that it was clear I had never loved that woman, that I had doubtless merely played at love, thereby paying me a compliment which I really did not deserve; but the truth of it was that I was so swollen with vanity I was charmed with it. My desire was to pass as blase, even while I was filled with desires and my exalted imagination was carrying me beyond all limits.
Yet, his head remained in the clouds. In common with most men whose lot is cast in climes far removed from civilization, Curtis worshiped an ideal of womanhood which was rather that of a poet than of the blasé, cynical town-dweller.
He lost them both for an hour in the sand pits twelve miles out of town, and after that he tied them nose to tail and himself held a rope attached to the hindmost, and so made fair time with them, after all. The mule, Casey said, was just plain damn mule, sloughed off from the army, blasé beyond words, any words at Casey's command, at least.
"Five on the red," repeated the croupier; and set aside a chocolate-coloured chip in memorandum of the wager. When the ball settled again to rest, the announcement was monotonously recited: "Nine, red, odd, first dozen." And the blasé prodigal was presented with the chocolate-coloured token.

Tolstoi is a blasé aristocrat, disgusted with civilization by having too much eaten of it." Whether or not this characterization of Tolstoi is justified, there can be no question that many of this type rushed to the aid of syndicalism. Its savage vigor appeals to some artists, decadents, and déclassés.
He fired with an accuracy of aim that won him an admiring mutter, although to miss would have been almost as noteworthy. But after repeating this experience several times, he shrugged his shoulders and announced himself blasé. "I'd like something a little more difficult," he said. "Ten minutes of this and we can glut the market." "All men are children," said Isabel, indulgently.
