Still the fantastic has not made much headway in the Institute, and it is so foreign to the French genius, which never tolerates it after it has ceased to be novel, that it probably never will. It is a great tribute to French "catholicity of mind and largeness of temper" that Carpeaux's "La Danse" remains in its position on the façade of the Grand Opéra.
That strange poem about "Annie." with its sickeningly sentimental conclusion, where the poet lies prostrate, drugged with all the drowsy syrops in the world, and celebrates his euthanasia, has a quality of its own. It is the "inverse" of life's "Danse Macabre." It is the way we poor dancers long to sleep. "For to sleep you must slumber in just such a bed!"
It was out of season, and, though his popularity was as great as ever, neither he nor his wife had any social engagements; hence this evening at a music hall, which Peter, for his part, was finding thoroughly amusing. The place was packed some said owing to the engagement of Andrea Korust and his brother, others to the presence of Mademoiselle Sophie Celaire in her wonderful danse des apaches.
Besides, 'la belle danse donne du brillant a un jeune homme'. And you should endeavor to shine. A calm serenity, negative merit and graces, do not become your age. You should be 'alerte, adroit, vif'; be wanted, talked of, impatiently expected, and unwillingly parted with in company. I should be glad to hear half a dozen women of fashion say, 'Ou est donc le petit Stanhope? due ne vient-il?
The Palais du Danse is incomparably the most beautiful ballroom in the world so people who have been all over the world agree and it is spotlessly clean and free from brackish smells, which is more than can be said of any French establishment of similar character I have seen.
"Oh yes, we can easily arrange that," Mr Sharnall said obsequiously "`See the Conquering Hero comes, by Handel, would be very appropriate; or there is an air out of one of Offenbach's Operas that I think I could adapt to the purpose. It is a very sweet thing if rendered with proper feeling; or I could play a `Danse Maccabre' slowly on the full organ."
Only a moment later she was on again, this time in a daring costume of solid black, against and through which her limbs flashed with startling effect as she performed her famous Danse de Nuit. "Hm-m! Nothing very extreme about that," remarked Merkle, at length. "It would be beautiful if it were better done." Lorelei agreed.
Hammon is giving a big supper to some of his friends and we're going Lorelei and I. Demorest is down for her 'Danse de Nuit. They say it's the limit." "Hammon, the steel man?" queried the critic, curiously. "Sure. There's only one Hammon. But nix on the newspaper story; this is a private affair." "Never let us speak ill of a poor Pittsburgh millionaire," laughed Pope.
The Salome dancers built a bridge of beads across what was regarded as a fixed gulf: it is difficult for stern moralists to stomach the danse du ventre.
"Cherizette," said the Lady Flabella, inserting her mouse-like feet in the blue satin slippers, which had unwittingly occasioned the half-playful half-angry altercation between herself and the youthful Colonel Befillaire, in the Duke of Mincefenille's SALON DE DANSE on the previous night.
