But there are a set of amateurs of the Belles Lettres the gay science who come to me as a sort of rendezvous, putting questions of criticism, of British Institutions, Lalla Rookhs, etc, what Coleridge said at the lecture last night who have the form of reading men, but, for any possible use reading can be to them, but to talk of, might as well have been Ante-Cadmeans born, or have lain sucking out the sense of an Egyptian hieroglyph as long as the pyramids will last, before they should find it.
Then came the great masked ball, to which practically all "society" was invited. Matilda and Burgwyne agreed to go in the guise of their romantic favourites; she as Lalla Rookh, and he as Feramorz, the young Prince. She wore "floating gauzes, bracelets, a small coronet of jewels, and a rose-coloured bridal veil."
His voice had warmed sentimentally and his kindled eye was passing back and forth between Anna seated by him and Hilary close at hand in the saddle. He waved wide: "This all-pervading haze and perfume, dew and dream," he was saying, "is what makes this the Lalla Rookh's land it is!" He smiled at himself and confessed that Carrollton Gardens always went to his head.
"I see," said Thacker. "Next we have two pages of selections from 'Lalla Rookh, by Thomas Moore. Now, what Federal prison did Moore escape from, or what's the name of the F.F.V. family that he carries as a handicap?" "Moore was an Irish poet who died in 1852," said Colonel Telfair, pityingly.

"On'y me singing, Master Mark. Soon be out now." "That's what you keep on saying," cried the lad, pettishly. "I don't believe we're going right. You've taken a wrong turning by mistake.
It's about a man who pretends he's a chauffeur in order to to There are any number of books with the same motive; She Stoops to Conquer, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Lalla Rookh, Monsieur Beaucaire Oh, dozens of them! It's an old plot; it doesn't require the slightest originality to think of it. 'Si, signorina?
His 'Lalla Rookh, a setting of Moore's story, though vastly inferior to his symphonic poem 'Le Désert, is a work of distinction and charm. To David belongs the credit of opening the eyes of musicians to the possibilities of Oriental colour. Operas upon Eastern subjects have never been very popular in England, but in France many of them have been successful.
