I read in the excellent handbook of M. Joanne that it was projected "dès 1172," but commenced only in the first years of the thirteenth century. "The nave," the writer adds, "was finished tant bien que mal, faute de ressources; the façade is of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries in its lower part, and of the fourteenth in its upper."
Nevertheless, he sweated hard over Vautrin, La Marâtre, Les Ressources de Quinola and Mercadet; none of them helped substantially to pay off the debts, nor can any be rated equally with the poorest of his novels. Mercadet, certainly, has one brilliant scene of comedy in it, and under the name of A Game of Speculation proved a trump-card with Charles Mathews.
Itineraries of other cities merely describe streets, public institutions, the fairs, the courts, and the places of fashionable amusement; one of these curiosities of literature now before us, published less than a century ago, describes, as available resources to the stranger, Gouvernantes, Emeutes, Reves Politiques, L'Art de Diner, Bureaux d'Esprit, corresponding to our modern blue-stocking coteries, femmes de quarante ans, with their "deux ressources, la devotion et le bel esprit"; Contre Poisons, indispensable in those days of jealousy and assassination; Pots de Fleurs form an item of the most limited establishment; emblems, such as Rubans and Bonnets Rouges, are described as essential to the intelligent conduct of the visitor; and a chapter is devoted to Gallantry, of which a modern author in the same department pensively remarks, "Cette ancienne galanterie qui vivait d'esprit et d'infidelites est comptletement denaturee."
«Quelle richesse dans les ressources de la nature! La pesanteur n'est pas plus prête
Puis c'est Lord Houghton, qui avait de l'esprit et de la psychologie. Il venait de gagner une livre a un jeune homme de ressources très modestes, au cours d'une partie de whist, et comme il empochait la pièce: "Ah! mon cher enfant," dit-il, "le grand Lord Hertford, que les sots appellent le méchant Lord Hertford, avait accoutumé de dire: Il n'y a pas de plaisir
Mon pere etait tres jeune encore quand il est entre au saint ministere et qu'il fut nomme pasteur a Hambach, village de la Lorraine. L'endroit etait assez grand, mais de peu de ressources, et il etait heureux de trouver quelqu'un qui, dans son inexperience et loin de sa famille, fut capable de lui aider a fonder sa maison, selon les usages et les traditions d'un bon presbytere.
Les Ressources de Quinola, a comedy in a prologue and five acts, was presented at the Theatre de l'Odeon, Paris, March 19, 1842. Souverain published it in an octavo volume. Our playwright yet betrays the amateur touch. It is regrettable, too, for he chose an excellent theme and setting.
However, he was now full of happy anticipations, and it was with the greatest enthusiasm that he looked forward to the appearance of "Les Ressources de Quinola," which had been accepted by the Odeon, and on which he founded the most extravagant hopes.
"Vautrin" La Revue Parisienne Societe des Gens-de-Lettres Balzac leaves Les Jardies, and goes to the Rue Basse, Passy Death of M. de Hanski "Les Ressources de Quinola" "La Comedie Humaine" Balzac goes to St. Petersburg to meet Madame Hanska Her reasons for deferring the marriage. The sad fate of "L'Ecole des Menages" did not long discourage Balzac.
But the old man only smiled no; he never smiled, but somehow sharpened and moved forward his lips and told him: 'Vous ne savez pas ce qu'il y a de ressources dans cette jeunesse. 'In former years, however, M. le Commandeur,... the doctor ventured to observe. Ivan Matveitch smiled as before. 'Vous revez, mon cher, he interposed: 'le commandeur n'a plus de dents, et il crache a chaque mot.
