History contains no more striking contrast perhaps than the spectacle of this tall curly-haired boy with the Caesar-like face studying a Greek book while he managed a diamond-washing machine with his foot. Rhodes developed the mines known as the DeBeers group.
It is a remarkably Caesar-like head, every feature indicating the decision and positivism of the Roman character such a one, indeed, as ideally became the author of the 'Considerations. But how the face is altered when we look at it in another portrait a painted one, representing the writer in a great wig as President of the Parliament of Guyenne!
There was a magnificent display of flowers and fruit on the table. The Emperor came in with the Empress, not looking in the least Caesar-like, with his hair matted down on his forehead and his mustaches all unwaxed and drooping; but he soon twisted them up into their usual stiffness.
It was as if jury and public were thinking rhythmically in obedience to the same unexpressed prejudice of which he himself was conscious. Even the Caesar-like pale face up there, presiding, seemed in its ironic serenity responding to that current. "Gentlemen of the jury, before I call my evidence, I direct your attention to the bandage the accused is still wearing.
Why should this poor wretch suffer so for no fault, no fault; while he, and these others, and that snapping counsel, and the Caesar-like judge up there, went off to their women and their homes, blithe as bees, and probably never thought of him again? And suddenly he was conscious of the judge's voice: "You will go back to your regiment, and endeavour to serve your country with better spirit.
Moreover, it was not an easy thing to hold the affections of a man like Napoleon. Six years younger than his wife, he was but thirty-eight, and in all the flower and prime of his Caesar-like beauty. He liked to make a conquest of beauties as well as of provinces. The thought of resistance exasperated him. In everything he demanded success, triumph, dominion.
