Theophile Gautier Quotes
The Famous Courtesan Clarimonde Died Recently, As The Result Of An Orgy Which Lasted Eight Days And Eight Nights. It Was Something Infernally
magnificent. They Revived The Abominations Of The Feasts Of Belshazzar And Cleopatra. Great God!
what An Age This Is In Which We Live! The Guests Were Served By Swarthy Slaves Speaking An Unknown Tongue, Who To My Mind Had Every Appearance Of Veritable Demons; The Livery Of The Meanest Among Them Might Have Served As A Gala-costume For An Emperor. There Have Always Been Current Some Very
strange Stories Concerning This Clarimonde, And All Her Lovers Have Come To A Miserable Or A Violent End. It Has Been Said That She Was A Ghoul, A Female Vampire; But I Believe That She Was Beelzebub In Person.
