Theophile Gautier.

In spite of his exceptional
strength and the magnitude of his
desires, Gautier was a dreamer,
strayed into the midst Of a restless,
implacable civilization which rush
ed past him and over him and trQd
him under foot, while he, uncon-
scious of the fact, made no COM
plant. "Poor Theow he sometimes
exclaimed, and we, his friends, knew
what depths of unspoken suffering
were, compressed into that cry. He
lived in a world of dreams far away,
so far away indeed that he was
aware the fantastic existence he had
imagined was not to be realized
upon our earth and therefore made
the best of the indifferent circum-
stances in which he was forced to
live. Literary Recollections,"

about the parties of the other part not

Then there was an explosion. The
burglar tottered and fell in heap on

under certain conditions one may COM
