The Man in the Iron Mask The public voice loudly accused many nonjurors of requiting the hospitality of their benefactors with villany as black as that of the hypocrite depicted in the masterpiece of Moliere. The History of England, from the Accession of James II — Volume 3 Did not Moliere imagine that he was doing Raphael and Michael-Angelo a very great honor, by calling them "those Mignards of their age?" Notre-Dame De Paris At the Moliere Theatre a drama of the day represents him as launching the thunderbolts of his logic and virtue at Rohan and Cond�. The French Revolution - Volume 3 But I have often wondered, while admiring the splendid portrait of Tartuffe, whether such a monster ever, or at least often, has walked the stage of life; whether Moliere observed, or only invented him. Father and Son: a study of two temperaments As to Moliere, he had undertaken to order the horses, while Aramis went to exchange a parting word with the superintendent. The Man in the Iron Mask Note: It is perhaps hardly necessary to refer the reader to Amphitryon, by Plautus, the comedy upon which Moliere's charming play was, in the main, based. Amphitryon It is not unlikely that Moliere shared her dislike of the powerful and fastidious coterie whose very virtues might easily have furnished salient points for his scathing wit. The Women of the French Salons He took down in turn Macaulay's History of England, a handsome edition of the works of Swift, and a set of Moliere without getting any nearer the end of his quest. Okewood of the Secret Service Of all the French writers that I have read, I like Moliere and Racine best. The Story of my life; with her letters (1887-1901) and a supplementary account of her education, including passages from the reports and letters of her teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, by John Albert Macy "You will have your dress the day after to-morrow, monsieur le baron," answered Moliere. The Man in the Iron Mask The rendering attempted here can give but a faint reflection of the original, for hardly any comedy of Moliere's loses more in the process of translation. Amphitryon We may smile at some of their follies; have we not our own which some nineteenth century Moliere may serve up for the delight and possible misleading of future generations? The Women of the French Salons That letter is still valid in French poetry; and Chaucer's lines can be scanned only by reading them as we would read Racine's or Moliere's. The Canterbury Tales, and Other Poems In the French course I read some of the works of Corneille, Moliere, Racine, Alfred de Musset and Sainte-Beuve, and in the German those of Goethe and Schiller. The Story of my life; with her letters (1887-1901) and a supplementary account of her education, including passages from the reports and letters of her teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, by John Albert Macy Moliere alone passed his hand across his eyes. The Man in the Iron Mask Moliere exhibited in his misanthrope a pure and noble mind, which had been sorely vexed by the sight of perfidy and malevolence, disguised under the forms of politeness. Critical and Historical Essays — Volume 2 Society, with its follies and affectations, inspired the mocking laughter of Moliere, but its unwritten laws tempered his language and refined his wit. The Women of the French Salons Monsieur Jourdain, the honest but uneducated tradesman of Moliere's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, whose sudden wealth lands him in absurd attempts at aristocracy. Critical and Historical Essays — Volume 1 I know what I hazard by this opinion among the implicit admirers of Lully, Racine, and Moliere. Travels through France and Italy "I have forgotten them, but I am delighted to read the verses of others, when those others are known by the names of Moliere, Pelisson, La Fontaine, etc." The Man in the Iron Mask The surliness of Moliere's hero is copied and caricatured. Critical and Historical Essays — Volume 2 Moliere himself disclaims all intention of attacking the true precieuse; but the world is not given to fine discrimination, and the true suffers from the blow aimed at the false. The Women of the French Salons The extravagance with which her courtiers eulogized her personal and mental charms went beyond the adulation of Boileau and Moliere. Critical and Historical Essays — Volume 1 His public character has been scrutinized by men free from the hopes and fears of Boileau and Moliere. Miscellaneous Writings and Speeches — Volume 2 "Moliere says so, and Moliere is a judge of such things; he declares he has himself made a hundred thousand verses." The Man in the Iron Mask The groundwork of the Plain Dealer is taken from the Misanthrope of Moliere. Critical and Historical Essays — Volume 2 She sits in the shade and embroiders while her son "reads trifles, comedies which he plays like Moliere, verses, romances, tales; he is very amusing, he has esprit, he is appreciative, he entertains us." The Women of the French Salons Shakespeare and Moliere, Dante and Goethe, had been or had seemed to be dear to him. The Prime Minister Passepartout was by no means one of those pert dunces depicted by Moliere, with a bold gaze and a nose held high in the air. Around the World in 80 Days Junior Edition And he went out quickly, carrying off the letter for Lyonne and the notes for Seldon's mother, and taking up Moliere, who was beginning to lose patience. The Man in the Iron Mask Lewis the Fourteenth looked down on his brother King with an air not unlike that with which the Count in Moliere's play regards Monsieur Jourdain, just fresh from the mummery of being made a gentleman. Critical and Historical Essays — Volume 2 He had read everything, whether philosophy or belles lettres, which that age had produced in France, and loved to quote from Racine, Corneille, Boileau, Moliere, Montaigne, and Fenelon. Childhood I tried to excuse her by citing the example of Moliere. The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard The manuscripts are where Marlowe's and where Moliere's are, by virtue of a like neglect. The Valet's tragedy, and other studies "Eh!" said he, addressing this man, "and so you have become a tailor's boy, Monsieur Moliere!" The Man in the Iron Mask The follies which Moliere ridicules are those of affection, not those of fatuity. Critical and Historical Essays — Volume 2 It is a curious illustration of the desire for uniformity and dignity of style in dramatic verse of the seventeenth century, that Moliere feels called on to apologize for a touch of realism like this. Tartuffe Or, the Hypocrite Homer, Dante and Milton Shakespeare and Sophocles, Aristophanes and Moliere, Thucydides, Tacitus, and Gibbon, Swift and Scott,—these every lover of letters will desire to possess in the original languages or in translations. The Library Setting aside the dramatic poets and their creations, the children of Moliere and Shakspeare, the reader of novels will find, may be, that his airy friends are scarce so many as he deemed. Old Friends, Epistolary Parody I am very willing to leave you to go on saying Voliere; but, as for me, I shall continued to say Moliere. The Man in the Iron Mask The Mandragola, in particular, is superior to the best of Goldoni, and inferior only to the best of Moliere. Critical and Historical Essays — Volume 2 Jean Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name of Moliere, stands without a rival at the head of French comedy. Tartuffe Or, the Hypocrite In the second volume are Moliere, and his wife Armande, crowned by the muse Thalia. The Library Now humour is the quality which Dumas, Moliere, and Rabelais possess conspicuously among Frenchmen. Old Friends, Epistolary Parody "I have discovered the way," said Moliere, who had entered just at this point of the conversation. The Man in the Iron Mask As a comic dramatist he ranks second only to Moliere. Critical and Historical Essays — Volume 2 In this brilliant piece Moliere lifted French comedy to a new level and gave it a new purpose—the satirizing of contemporary manners and affectations by frank portrayal and criticism. Tartuffe Or, the Hypocrite Already their reprints of Rochefoucauld's first edition, of Beaumarchais, of La Fontaine, of the lyrics attributed to Moliere, and other volumes, are exhausted, and fetch high prices in the market. The Library So his Moliere and his La Fontaine are said to have been sold as waste paper, though if any copies escaped they would probably fetch a very comfortable price now. The Human Comedy: Introductions and Appendix The devout Queen-Mother was often appealed to by the enemies of Moliere, yet Anne of Austria had not only seen his comedy, but possessed this beautiful example of the first edition. Books and Bookmen That is how Moliere loved, and how we, scamps that we are! how we love. Beatrix Then I have read, of course, Moliere, Racine, Corneille, besides many other lesser French writers. Scaramouche Let a Moliere or Corneille be bound in the graceful contemporary style of Le Gascon, where the lace-like pattern of the gilding resembles the Venetian point-lace, for which La Fontaine liked to ruin himself. The Library What an amazing masterpiece is the character of Celimene in Moliere's Le Misanthrope! Letters of Two Brides These title-pages of Moliere are the highwater mark of French taste in this branch of decoration. Books and Bookmen Never did their frosty-hearted fathers know what absolute love is; Moliere alone conceived it. Beatrix You cannot suppose that Moliere ever troubled himself to be original in the matter of ideas. Scaramouche This pleasant little copy of the play, which is a kind of relic of Moliere and his old world, has been ruthlessly bound up with a treatise, "Des Pierres Precieuses," published by Didot in 1776. The Library If this strong girl were not earlier married, the fault must be attributed to the Harpagon "no dowry" her father practised, though he never read Moliere. The Village Rector Many of Moliere's plays appearing first, separately, in small octavo, were adorned with frontispieces, illustrative of some scene in the comedy. Books and Bookmen But he reads Shakspeare through the medium of his own vernacular, and has to undergo the penance of a foreign tongue before he can understand Moliere. North America — Volume 2 Moliere took those old stories and retold them in his own language. Scaramouche To understand their merits, and the limits of their art, it is enough to glance through a series of the designs for Voltaire, Corneille, or Moliere. The Library The stratagems to which he resorted from time to time in order to raise unimportant sums reminded one of certain scenes in Moliere's comedies. An Old Town By the Sea I have an original copy of Moliere's 'Les Fascheux' bound up with a treatise on precious stones, but the bookseller from whom I bought it knew it was there! Books and Bookmen I have only to add, by way of postscript to these preliminary chapters, that I have had recourse to Moliere's recipe, and read my manuscript over to my old woman, Janet MacEvoy. Chronicles of the Canongate "You charge me with plagiarism," he said at last; "with filching the ideas of Moliere." Scaramouche His range was of the widest, and he succeeded as well in engraving fishes and birds for Yarrell and Walton's "Angler," as in illustrations to Moliere and "Hudibras." The Library Nay, I do not know but that Moliere in his lighter mood would not have said of it, as of Cyrano de Bergerac's best—'This is mine.' A Prince of Bohemia To my own knowledge an English collector has bought an original play of Moliere's, in the original vellum, for eighteenpence. Books and Bookmen Under that same date the Moniteur also puts it on record that the Theatre National was filled to its utmost capacity for the revival of the late citoyen Moliere's comedy. El Dorado, an adventure of the Scarlet Pimpernel You supply the dialogue as you proceed, which is rather more than Moliere ever attempted. Scaramouche Indeed, this wonderful man saw as clearly in his sphere of crime as Moliere did in his sphere of dramatic poetry, or Cuvier in that of extinct organisms. Scenes from a Courtesan's Life "Yes," said Cerizet, who, having been on the stage, may very well have known his Moliere, "this marriage will crown your wishes with all good; it will be filled with sweetness and with pleasures." The Lesser Bourgeoisie His early Molieres were fastened to old French dictionaries and school-books. Books and Bookmen The curtain had descended on the first act, and traditionally, as the works of M. de Moliere demanded it, the three knocks were heard again without any interval. El Dorado, an adventure of the Scarlet Pimpernel "It is called, I believe, 'Monsieur de Pourceaugnac,' and was written by Moliere." Scaramouche Perfect virtue, the dream of Moliere, an Alceste, is exceedingly rare; still, it is to be found everywhere, even in Paris. Scenes from a Courtesan's Life In art—and perhaps Moliere had placed hypocrisy in the rank of art by classing Tartuffe forever among comedians—there exists a point of perfection to which genius alone attains; mere talent falls below it. The Lesser Bourgeoisie The enemies and rivals of Moliere—De Vise, De Villiers, and the rest— are always reproaching him—with his love of bouquins. Books and Bookmen The words which the late M. de Moliere puts into the mouth of Celimene are trite and flippant enough, yet every time that Mlle. El Dorado, an adventure of the Scarlet Pimpernel "Then you do not imply that I have been stealing from Moliere?" Scaramouche Holberg, Denmark's Moliere, founded here an academy for the sons of the nobles. Andersen's Fairy Tales "He is cousin-germain to Tartuffe, that immortal figure cast in bronze by our honest Moliere; for Moliere, my children, had honesty and patriotism for the basis of his genius." The Lesser Bourgeoisie Thanks to M. Soulie the catalogue of Moliere's library has been found, though the books themselves have passed out of view. Books and Bookmen Therefore, when the curtain rose at last on the first act of Moliere's witty comedy, St. Just turned deliberately towards the stage and tried to interest himself in the wordy quarrel between Philinte and Alceste. El Dorado, an adventure of the Scarlet Pimpernel Moliere's original part—the title role—had dwindled into insignificance, to the great disgust of Polichinelle, to whom it fell. Scaramouche There is hardly anything more humorous, even in Moliere. The Black Robe He paints his age as Moliere paints the times of Louis XIV., and Homer the heroic periods of Grecian history. Beacon Lights of History Moliere owned no fewer than two hundred and forty volumes of French and Italian comedies. Books and Bookmen What comedian but Moliere has combined with such depths—with the indignation of Alceste, the self-deception of Tartufe, the blasphemy of Don Juan—such wildness of irresponsible mirth, such humour, such wit! Letters to Dead Authors Moliere is as true to nature in his old men as in his young ones, and Moliere's judgment was assuredly a sound and healthy one. Modeste Mignon Moliere and Talma, in their old age, were more in love than ordinary men in all their lives. A Daughter of Eve No other country could produce a tragic poet equal to Racine, a comic poet equal to Moliere, a trifler so agreeable as La Fontaine, a rhetorician so skilful as Bossuet. The History of England, from the Accession of James II — Volume 1 We know nothing, to the regret of bibliophiles, of Moliere's taste in bindings. Books and Bookmen Truly they seek the living among the dead, and the immortal Moliere among the sweepings of attorneys' offices. Letters to Dead Authors Modeste attributed Moliere's melancholy to the women of the seventeenth century. Modeste Mignon He makes himself remarked also by his "neglige," if we may borrow from Moliere the word which Eliante uses to express the want of personal neatness. A Daughter of Eve "He plays scenes with her which would make you die of laughing,—exactly like Arnolphe in Moliere's comedy." A Start in Life Bossuet, on the other hand, left little or nothing of interest except a copy of the 1682 edition of Moliere, whom he detested and condemned to "the punishment of those who laugh." Books and Bookmen On the other hand Homer would sink into the limbo to which you consigned Moliere. Letters to Dead Authors "But who could ever believe that under the starry mantle of a poet I should find nothing but one of Moliere's old men?" Modeste Mignon In this dreadful battle, selfishness, the most overbearing or the most adroit selfishness, gains the victory; and it is envied and applauded in spite, as Moliere said, of outcries, and we all know it. A Daughter of Eve The tragedies of Corneille and Racine and the comedies of Moliere were played regularly at the Court theatre in presence of the Empress, and awakened a real or affected enthusiasm among the audience. Russia There is a well-known incident in one of Moliere's plays,88 where the author makes the hero express unbounded delight on being told that he had been talking prose during the whole of his life. Autobiography and Selected Essays LETTER—To Monsieur de Moliere, Valet de Chambre du Roi Monsieur,—With what awe does a writer venture into the presence of the great Moliere! Letters to Dead Authors Therefore, into what sorrows may he not fall when, like Moliere, he wishes to live the life of feeling in its most poignant crises; to me, remembering his personal life, Moliere's comedy is horrible. Modeste Mignon Here on the threshold drear Of death, I pay my tribute with the rest, To Moliere's genius,--Christian's fair face! Cyrano De Bergerac To these magnificent types of uncompromising Right we owe two masterpieces—the Alceste of Moliere, and, in our own day, the characters of Jeanie Deans and her father in Sir Walter Scott's novel. Father Goriot And he poured out a torrent of epigrams on certain political personages, of whom the best known gives us, in this century, a new edition of Moliere's Tartufe. The Atheist's Mass We are the privateers of the stage; and it is rarely, to be sure, that a comedy pleases the town which has not first been "cut out" from the countrymen of Moliere. Letters to Dead Authors But does the lofty reasoner after the fashion of Moliere want still better reasons? Modeste Mignon Shakespeare and Moliere flourished under their magnanimous protection, while Dante could not find a corner in his republican birthplace. Taras Bulba and Other Tales It is like that Turkish phrase of Moliere's that so astonished the bourgeois gentleman by the number of things implied in its utterance. The Count of Monte Cristo Brieux has been hailed by Bernard Shaw as "incomparably the greatest writer France has produced since Moliere," and perhaps no writer ever wielded his pen more earnestly in the service of the race. Damaged Goods; the great play "Les avaries" by Brieux, novelized with the approval of the author So stupid and so solemn in his spite He dares to print that Moliere could not write! Letters to Dead Authors He seems to hate the heights he cannot climb to, He thinks your poetry a coxcomb's whim, A good deal of his sawdust he has spilt on Shakespeare, and Moliere, and you, and Milton. Letters to Dead Authors Moliere," said you, "understands the genius of comedy, and presents it in a natural style. Letters to Dead Authors I almost blush to think that M. Despreaux, M. Racine, and M. de Moliere, the three most renowned wits of the time, conspired to complete the poor jest, and assail you. Letters to Dead Authors While you lived, taste kept the French drama pure; and it was the congenial business of English playwrights to foist their rustic grossness and their large Fescennine jests into the urban page of Moliere. Letters to Dead Authors In him you have a successor to your Mascarille so perfect, that the ghosts of playgoers of your date might cry, could they see him, that Moliere had come again.
