All at once between her and the church there shone a light on the right hand, unlike anything she had ever seen before; and out of it came a voice equally unknown and wonderful. What did the voice say? Only the simplest words, words fit for a child, no maxim or mandate above her faculties "Jeanne, sois bonne et sage enfant; va souvent a l'eglise." Jeanne, be good!
It is the book that Gautier loved, it is Baudelaire's masterpiece. Open it at that sad madrigal that begins Que m'importe que tu sois sage? Sois belle! et sois triste! and you will find yourself worshipping sorrow as you have never worshipped joy.
Le monde où tout étincelle, Mais ou rien n'est enflammé, Pourvu que vous soyez belle, Sera charmé. Mon coeur, dans l'ombre amoureuse, Où l'énivrent deux beaux yeux, Pourvu que tu sois heureuse, Sera joyeux. That was all. But she shook as though a miracle had been enacted.
However, on being told how things stood, he began in Spanish, and opening his mouth as wide as he could, the better to articulate, said: "Vos sois um homen de bem." The native listened, but made no reply. "He doesn't understand," said the geographer. "Perhaps you haven't the right accent," suggested the Major. "That's just it! Confound the accent!"
Thou, with a ready wit, a glancing eye, a gay smile, a supple form, thou wilt not enter the lists of love? What says Voltaire of the blind god?

Utterly venal and unscrupulous, we find him at one time enjoying the patronage of Francis I. of France, and then abusing that monarch and basking in the favour of the Emperor Charles V., who paid him more lavishly.
'Sois grand homme, et sois malheureux, is, I am afraid, the law of nature, or rather the decree of the world. Your ladyship will not read this without a smile; for you will immediately infer, that I think myself a great man; and as I detest hypocrisy yet more than vanity, I shall not deny the charge.

I met him from time to time in the corridors that had become all at once too narrow for him, humming in a thick voice a couplet from the music of La Reine Hortense. De ma fille Isabelle Sois l'époux
We showed him the town, and some of the modest pleasures thereof; we introduced him to the Haunt, and astonished him by the company which he met there. Between Brent's "Deserter" and Mark Wilder's "Garryowen," Florac sang Tiens voici ma pipe, voila mon bri quet; Et quand la Tulipe fait le noir tra jet Que tu sois la seule dans le regi ment Avec la brule-gueule de ton cher z'a mant;

Sois sage!"
