There have been the unhappily wed, who, through the fault of themselves, or their wives, found and made misery at home, and sought nepenthe elsewhere, such as Haydn, Berlioz, and Tschaikovski.

Necessarily the repute and the position of Gustave Rameau, as the avowed editor of this potent journal, rose with its success.
No lack of eloquence and sentiment there." "I am rather tired of eloquence and sentiment," said Enguerrand. "Your editor, Gustave Rameau, sickens me of them with his 'Starlit Meditations in the Streets of Paris, morbid imitations of Heine's enigmatical 'Evening Songs. Your journal would be perfect if you could suppress the editor."
M. de la Popliniere, to obviate this difficulty, said he might hear it; and offered me to send for musicians to execute certain detached pieces. I wished for nothing better.
