Renan is more than ugly, he is re-
pulsive - . ln0nstr0sjty. His conn
panions Of the Seminary Of Saint

illness was equivalent to one Of those

Is more an animal than . man. His
body b one block Of flesh; aims and
leEs move heavily, mechanically,
like the members Of the hipPopota-
mus. His massive head falls Ike
burden over his breast, he drags It
rather than CARRIE It. The color Of
his pendant cheeks diegnsts like the
slime Of the snail. His forehead sug-
eests the anAthelna Craven on the
face Of Cain. His little, deeply sunk
en- eyes cannot meet the glance Of
men; forcioly downcast, they are con-
demned to have no other spectacle
than the mud and the dust.-Nico-
