Rousseau's Etiquette Of Love.
Before Rousseau, love was highly
refined form Of social intercourse, a
species of gallantry conducted with
self-restraint, and all the formalities OF
special etiquette; any extravagancy,
whether in feeling, in speech. or In
action, was banished. But when Saint
Preux, oppressed by his high-strung
passions, came to the rock at Meilliere
to pour forth in solitude the food OF
his sentimental tears, all the witty re-
finements Of eighteenth century gal
lantry, for good or for evil, were final
ly swept away; extravagancy was free
to lay down the law in love. 1t was

sensibility to the dregs, and could
give a thousand lives for what love-

etiquette of love which every petty
poet and novelist still adheres to-
