Ears Hurt Drinking Alcohol

Tip Tip

I had to go to a psychiatrist but I fell twice on the sidewalk when there are only 50 meters to go to the bus stop. I was afraid of having to trudge like this at the subway exit Montreuil so I turned around and went back home. Yet last week I did not go either because there was no bus. But here, I would have had my bus, if I wanted. In short, I am ashamed of myself, all I needed to go back because I have olfactory hallucinations (twice in the week, whenever I was in contact with water, it was a burning smell) and hearing (yesterday the people who spoke to me sounded like a radio 50s)

L e Gentleman is a comedy-ballet Molière (1622-1673), in five acts with respectively 2, 5, 16, 5 and 6 scenes) prose (except ballet entries are in verse), represented for the first time October 14, 1670, the court of Louis XIV, the Château de Chambord by Molière's troupe. The music is by Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687), the ballets of Pierre Beauchamp (1631-1705), the sets of Vigarani Carlo (1637-1713) and the costumes of Turkish Chevalier d'Arvieux (1635-1702).

André Bouys (1656-1740); The ordinary music of the King

In this play, Molière mocks a wealthy bourgeois who wants to emulate the behavior and the lifestyle of the nobles. This show was much appreciated by the Court and Louis XIV who redemandèrent several times.

Francois de Troy (1645-1730 ) portrait of Charles Lamb, 1690

This piece embodies the kind the comedy-ballet to perfection and remains one of the few masterpieces such noble who has mobilized the best actors and musicians of the time. One reason for the success that it immediately won the taste is the time for what were called turqueries. The Ottoman Empire was then a universal concern in the minds and sought to tame it. The origin of the work is linked to the scandal caused by the Turkish ambassador Soliman Aga, who during his visit to the court of Louis XIV in 1669, asserted the superiority of the Ottoman court on that of the Sun King.

And you too, on this side.

Music Teacher , the student.

Is it done?

Students

Yes.

Music Teacher

Let's see ... That's good.

Dancing Master

Is this something new?

Music Teacher

Yes, it is an air for a serenade, I did call him here, until our man was awake.

Dancing Master

Can you see this?

Music Teacher

You'll hear the dialogue when he comes. It does not take long.

Dancing Master

Our occupations, you and me, are not small now.

Music Teacher

It is true. We found a man here as we need them both, what we rent is a sweet that Mr. Jordan, with visions of grandeur and gallantry he went into his head, and your dancing and my music would Hopefully everyone like him.

Dancing Master

Not entirely, and I would like for him he knew better than he did the things we give.

Music Teacher

It is true that he is unfamiliar, but it pays well, and that's what our arts now need it more than anything else.

Dancing Master

For me, I confess, I repais a little glory to the applause touch me and I wish that in all the fine arts is a punishment bad enough that occur to fools that wiping compositions on the barbarity of a stupid. It is a pleasure, not me talking point at work for people who can feel the warmth of an art, who can make a sweet welcome to the beauties of a book, and approvals by tickling you enjoy your work. Yes, the rewards one can receive more enjoyable things we did was to see the known, to see a cherished applause that honors. There is nothing, I think that we pay better than that of all our hardships, and they are exquisite delight praise informed.

Fontaine - Parc du Château de Versailles

Music Teacher

I agree with, and I taste like you. There is certainly nothing that tickles more than the applause you say. But the incense does not live; praise are not all pure point a man at ease: there must mix the solid; and the best way to rent, rent it with your hands. He is a man, indeed, whose lights are small, who speaks indiscriminately of all things, and applaud that cons-meaning, but his money makes up the judgments of his mind; He has discernment in his purse, his praises are minted, and this ignorant bourgeois us better, as you see, that enlightened nobleman who introduced us here.

Dancing Master

There is some truth in what you say but I find you press a little too much on money and interest is something so low that we must never an honest man for him to watch the attachment.

Music Teacher

You get well yet the money our man gives you.

Dancing Master

Certainly, but I do not make all my happiness and I wish that with his wealth, he still had some good taste of things.

Music Teacher

I would like also, and what we are working both as much as we can. But in any case, we give way ourselves in the world and he will pay for others what others praise for him.

Dancing Master

Ah! ah!

Music Teacher

You find us ready.

Mr. Jordan

I made you wait a bit, but I'm getting dressed today as people of quality, and my tailor sent me some silk stockings that I thought I never get on.

Music Teacher

We are here to await your leisure.

Mr. Jordan

Please do both of you not in go, they have brought me my coat, so you may see me.

You see me with it properly, from head to foot.

Mr. Jordan

Nothing. Is to see if you understand me. (Both masters.) What do you think of my liveries?

Dancing Master

They are beautiful.

Mr. Jordan. He opened his robe, and shows a high-pair of tight red velvet, and a green velvet vest, which he wears.

Here is another little undressed for my morning exercises.

Mr. Jordan

Let us look at your case.

Music Teacher

I'd like you to listen to a tune he has composed for the serenade you requested. It's one of my kids, who for these kinds of things an admirable talent.

Mr. Jordan

Yes, but should not that done by a schoolboy, and you were not too good yourself for this piece of work.

Music Teacher

must not, sir, that the name of pupil fool you. These kinds of kids know as much as the greatest masters, and the air is as fine as could be done. Listen only.

Mr. Jordan

Give me my robe to hear better ... Wait, I think I'm better without dress ... No, give it back to me, it will get better.

Mr. Jordan

This song seems a bit gloomy, it lulls, and I would you could liven a little cheer in it, and there.

Music Teacher

must, sir, that the air is suited to the words.

Mr. Jordan

It taught me a very nice, some time ago. Wait ... There is ... how does he say?

Dancing Master

By my faith! I do not know.

Mr. Jordan

There are sheep inside.

Dancing Master

Sheep?

Mr. Jordan

Yes. Ah!

As sweet as beautiful

I'm Jeanneton

Sweeter than a sheep

Alas! alas! it is a hundred times,

What is the tiger in the woods.

Is not it pretty?

Music Teacher

The prettiest in the world.

Dancing Master

And you sing it well.

Mr. Jordan

is without having learned music.

Music Teacher

You should learn it, Sir, as you dance. These are two arts that have a close connection.

Dancing Master

And that open the mind of a man with beautiful things.

Mr. Jordan

Do people of quality learn music too?

Music Teacher

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jordan

I learn it then. But I do not know how long I can take, for, besides the Fearless who shows me, I have engaged a Master of Philosophy, which is to begin this morning.

Music Teacher

philosophy is anything but music, sir, the music.

Dancing Master

music and dance. Music and dance, this is all it takes.

Music Teacher

There is nothing so useful in a state that music.

Dancing Master

There is nothing so necessary to men as dancing.

Music master

Without music, a state can not stand.

Dancing Master

Without dancing a man can not do anything.

Music Teacher

All disorders, all the wars we see in the world, come only from not learning music.

Dancing Master

All the misfortunes of mankind, all the dreadful disasters that the stories are true, the policy blunders and the failures of the great masters, all this is comes from not knowing how to dance.

Mr. Jordan

How so?

Music Teacher

War does not she just a lack of union between men?

Mr. Jordan

This is true.

Music Teacher

And if all men learned music, would this not the way to bringing about harmony and to see in the world of universal peace?

Mr. Jordan

You're right.

Dancing Master

When a man has committed a mistake in his conduct or the affairs of his family or government of a state, or to command an army, not said is not always: "This has made a false step in such a case?

Mr. Jordan

Yes, we said that.

Dancing Master

And how bad can it not do the other thing as not knowing how to dance?

Mr. Jordan

This is true, you are both right.

Dancing Master

For you see the excellence and relevance of dance and music.

Mr. Jordan

I understand that at this time.

Music Teacher

Want to see our two cases?

Mr. Jordan

Yes.

Music Teacher

I've already said, it's a little test I did the different passions that music can express.

Mr. Jordan

Well.

Music Teacher

Come, come on. You must imagine that they are dressed as shepherds.

Mr. Jordan always

Why shepherds? You do not see that everywhere.

MASTER dance

When people talk to music, it must be that for the likelihood, is given in the fold. Singing has always been assigned to the shepherds, and there is little natural dialogue for princes or merchants to sing their passions.

Mr. Jordan

Alright, alright. Let's see.

DIALOGUE IN MUSIC

A musician and two musicians

A heart, love in the Empire,

care is still a thousand restless:

They say it with pleasure languishes, one sighs;

But whatever may be said,

There is nothing so sweet as our freedom.

Prime musician

There is nothing so sweet as the tender passions

Who make two hearts

In the same desire.

We can be happy without love desires:

Remove love life

You take away the pleasures.

Second musician

It would be sweet to love the law,

If we were in love for the faith;

But, alas! O cruel rigor!

We do not find the faithful shepherdess,

And that inconstant sex, too unworthy,

Must forever renounce love.

Prime musician

Aimable ardor

Musician

Franchise happy

Second musician

Sex misleading

Prime musician

That thou art precious!

Musician

How you please my heart!

Second musician

What you do to me with horror!

Prime musician

Ah! leaves this mortal hatred to love.

Musician

We can, we can show you

A faithful shepherdess.

Second musician

Alas! where to meet?

Musician

To defend our reputation,

I want to offer you my heart.

Second musician

But, shepherd, then I believe

it will not be deceitful?

Musician

See for experience

Which of the two loves best.

Second musician

Who lacks consistency,

The can lose the Gods!

All three

In the heats so beautiful

Let us be inflamed

Ah! how sweet it is to love,

When two hearts are loyal!

Mr. Jordan

Is that all?

Music Teacher

Yes.

Mr. Jordan

I find it well-done, and there's little sayings in it nice enough.

Dancing Master

Here, for my case, a small movement of the loveliest and most beautiful attitudes that a dance can be varied.

Mr. Jordan

Are these shepherds?

Dancing Master

It whatever you like. Come on.

Four dancers perform all the different movements and all kinds of steps that the Lord commands them to dance and this dance is the first interlude.

That is not bad, and those guys are good wiggle.

Music Teacher

When the dance is combined with the music, it will have even better effect, and you'll see something good in the little ballet we have prepared for you.

Mr. Jordan

That's for later at least, and the person for whom I do all this, I must honor this house to dine.

Dancing Master

Everything is ready.

Music Teacher

Besides, sir, this is not enough: we need someone like you who are beautiful and have an inclination for beautiful things, have a concert of music at home on Wednesdays or Thursdays.

Mr. Jordan

Is that good people have?

Music Teacher

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jordan

I'll have then. Will this be beautiful?

Music Teacher

Probably. You must have three members: an upper, high-cons, and a bass, who will be accompanied by a bass viol, a theorbo and a harpsichord for the chords, with two violins to ritournelles play.

Mr. Jordan

It will take place Navy as a trumpet. The trumpet marine is an instrument that pleases me, and that is harmonious.

Music Teacher

Leave us to manage things.

Mr. Jordan

At least sometimes remember to send the musicians to sing at the table.

Music Teacher

You'll have everything you need.

Mr. Jordan

More importantly, the ballet is beautiful.

Master Music

You will be pleased, and, among other things, certain minuets you will see.

Mr. Jordan

Ah! minuets are my dancing, and I want you to see me dance. Come, my master.

Mr. Jordan

No. Simply how I remember it well.

If you want to salute with great respect, we must first bow back and walk toward her with three bows in front, and last till you drop 'to his knees.

ACT I

Scene first

Sganarelle Gusman.

Sganarelle , holding a snuffbox.

Q UOI can say that Aristotle and the philosophy, there is nothing equal to tobacco: the passion of honest men, and who lives without tobacco does not deserve to live. He not only welcomes and purging human brains, but he hears souls to virtue, and it teaches him to become an honest man. Do you not see well, once one takes, how we use obliging with everyone, and as we are happy to give right and left, wherever it is? We do not wait even one demand, and we ran to meet the wish of the people: for it is true that tobacco inspires feelings of honor and virtue to all those who take. But enough of this material. Let our discourse a bit. So, dear Gusman, that Done Elvire, your mistress, surprise of our departure, was setting campaign after us, and his heart, that my master has touched too much, could not live, you say, without the pick here. Do you want me to tell you that between us I think? I fear it is poorly paid for his love, his trip to this city produces little fruit, and you would have won as many do move away.

Gusman

And the reason again? Tell me, I pray thee, Sganarelle, which can inspire your fear of a bad omen? Your master did he open his heart on it, and did he say that for we had a cold that had forced him to leave?

Sganarelle

Not but, in view of the country, I know about the train of things, and without me even say anything, I would wager that almost the case goes there. I might be wrong, but finally, on such subjects, the experience could give me some lights.

Gusman

What? This departure would be a little under infidelity of Don Juan? It could this injury to the chaste light of Done Elvire?

Sganarelle

No, he is still young, and he lacks the courage ...

Gusman

A man of his quality would make a Action so cowardly?

Sganarelle

Yes, its quality! The reason is beautiful and that is where we help things ...

Gusman

But saints nodes reflect the commitment of marriage.

Sganarelle

Hey! Gusman my poor, dear, you do not know yet, believe me, what man is Don Juan.

Gusman

I do not know the truth, what man can be, whether we made this treachery, and I do not understand as much love and after testified so impatient, so pressing tributes, greeting, sighs and tears, so many passionate letters, protests and burning of repeated oaths, both transport and finally as of outbursts he did appear, forcing up in his passion, the sacred barrier of a convent, Done Elvire to put in his power, I do not understand, I say, like, after all this it would have the heart to break his word.

American medical corset, v. 1890

Sganarelle

I have no great difficulty in understanding me, and if you knew the pilgrim, you would find something easy enough for him. I'm not saying he changed feelings for Done Elvire, I have not yet certainty: you know, by his order, I went before him and since his arrival he met me no, but as a precaution, I teach you, our cross, you see in Don Juan, my master, the greatest villain that ever walked the earth, a rabid dog, a devil, a Turk, a heretic who believes neither Heaven nor Hell, no werewolf, that passes in real life this beast in pig of Epicurus, in real Sardanapalus, who closes his ear to all remonstrances Christian that he can do, and discusses nonsense what we believe. You say he married your mistress, think he would have done more for his passion, and with her he would still marry you, his dog and his cat. A wedding costs him nothing to contract; it uses no other traps to catch the beautiful, and it is a suitor to all hands. Lady, lady, bourgeois, peasant, he found nothing too hot nor too cold for him and if I told you the names of all those he espoused in various places, it would be a chapter unto the last evening. You remain surprised and change color at this speech; This is just a rough character, and to complete the portrait should be many more brush strokes. Just need the wrath of Heaven overwhelms some day that I would be much better to be the devil to be his, and that makes me see so much horror, I wish he was already I do not know where. But a nobleman bad man is a terrible thing, I must be faithful to him, despite whether I have: the fear in me that the Office of zeal, clamp my feelings, and reduces me to applaud often that my soul hates. Here he comes walking in the palace, let us part. Listen at least I made you this confidence, frankly, it left me a little too quickly from the mouth, but it was something he came to his ears, I would say openly that you would have lied.

Scene 2

Dom Juan, Sganarelle.

Dom Juan

What man spoke to you there? It has air, I think, good Gusman of Done Elvire.

Sganarelle

is also something about that.

Dom Juan

What? is he?

Sganarelle

Himself.

Dom Juan

And since when is it in this city?

Sganarelle

From yesterday evening.

Dom Juan

And what about the leads?

Sganarelle

I think you feel that this is quite worrying.

Dom Juan

Our departure no doubt?

Sganarelle

The good man is mortified, and asked me the topic.

Dom Juan

And

What response have you done?

Sganarelle

Whether you had not said anything to me.

Dom Juan

But still, what is your thought on that? What do you imagine this case?

Sganarelle

Me, I think, without making you wrong, you have a new love in mind.

Dom Juan

You think?

Sganarelle

Yes.

Dom Juan

My faith! you not mistaken, and I must confess that another object was removed from my mind Elvira.

Sganarelle

Oh my God! I know my Don Juan on the fingertip, and know your heart for the greatest rider in the world: he likes to wander from link to link, and do not like to remain in place.

Dom Juan

And do not you think, tell me, I'm right to use that?

Sganarelle

Hey! Sir.

Dom Juan

What? Speaks.

Sganarelle

Certainly you're right, if you want, you can not go there cons. But if you do not want, it might be another matter.

Dom Juan

Well! I give you the freedom to speak and tell me your feelings.

Sganarelle

In this case, Sir, I tell you frankly that I do not approve of your method, and that I find very ugly to love on all sides as you do.

Dom Juan

What? you want us to remain bound to the first object that catches us, we renounce the world for him, and we had no eyes for anyone? The beautiful thing to want to inject a false distinction of being faithful to be buried forever in a passion, and be dead from his youth all the other beauties that we can strike the eyes! No, no; consistency is only good for the ridiculous, and all have good right to charm us, and the advantage of being first met must not shirk the others just claim they were all on our hearts. For me, beauty delights me wherever I find it, and I yield easily to the gentle violence that takes us. I'm engaged, my love for a beautiful binds my soul to do injustice to others, I keep eyes to see the merit of all, and give each the homage and tributes where nature compels us. Anyway Regardless, I can not refuse my heart to all that I see kind, and when a beautiful face asks me if I had ten thousand, I would give them all. Inclinations ups, after all, have inexplicable charms, and all the pleasure of love is in change. It tastes extremely gentle to reduce, by one hundred tributes, the heart of a young beauty, to see every day the little progress they are doing to address it through transport, through tears and sighs, the innocent modesty of a soul that is hard to surrender, forcing the foot to foot all the little resistors it divides us, to overcome the scruples which she is an honor and gently lead where we want to bring her. But when it is master once, there is nothing more to say and nothing to be desired; all the thought of passion is over, and we fall asleep in the quiet of such love, if any new object not just awaken our desires, our heart and make them attractive charms of a conquest to make. Finally there is nothing so sweet as to triumph over the resistance of a beautiful person, and I have on this subject the ambition of conquerors, who constantly steal victory in victory, and can not bring themselves to confine their wishes. There is nothing that can stop the impetuosity of my desires: I feel a heart to love the earth, and like Alexander, I wish there were other worlds, to be able to extend my conquests love.

Sganarelle

Virtue of my life, as you flow! It appears that you have learned it by heart, and you talk like a book.

Dom Juan

Why do you say that?

Sganarelle

My faith! I have to say ... I do not know, because you turn things in a way, it looks like you're right, and yet it is true that you did not. I had the most beautiful thoughts of the world and your words to me all fuzzy. Laissez faire: Another time I put my arguments in writing, to dispute with you.

Dom Juan

You will do well.

Sganarelle

But, Sir, would it be the permission you have given me, if I told you I'm so little shocked the life you lead?

Dom Juan

How? What life do I lead?

Sganarelle

Fort

good. But, for example, to see you every month to get married as you do ...

Dom Juan

Is there anything better?

Sganarelle

It is true, I understand that it is very pleasant and entertaining, and I furnished myself enough, I think if there was no harm, but, sir, are playing well a sacred mystery, and ...

Dom Juan

Go, go, it's between me and heaven, and we disentangle well together, without thy put him in trouble .

Sganarelle

My faith! Sir, I have always heard that it's a bad joke that is ridicule of Heaven, and that the libertines are never a good end.

Dom Juan

Hola! master fool, you know I told you I do not like the makers of remonstrance.

Sganarelle

I'm not talking to you also, God forbid. You know what you do, you, and if you believe nothing, you have your reasons, but there are some small irrelevant in the world who are libertines without knowing why, who are strong-minded, because that they believe it suits them well, and if I had a master like this, I would say very clearly, looking in the face: "How dare you well and you play in heaven, and do you not tremble to laugh as you make the most sacred things? It's good to you, little worm, small Mirmidon you are (I mean what I said to the master), it is up to you to want to meddle around in jest that all men revere ? Do you think that to be quality to get a blonde wig and curly, feathers on your hat, a golden coat, and flame-colored ribbons (not that I speak to you, it is the other), do you, I say, that you're more astute than any you may be allowed, and we dare you tell your truths? Learn from me who am your servant, that Heaven punishes the wicked, sooner or later, a wicked life leads to a nasty death, and that ... "

Dom Juan

Peace!

Sganarelle

What are we talking about?

Dom Juan

It is about to tell you that beauty I feel at heart, and entailed by her charms, I followed her till in the city.

Sganarelle

And do you fear nothing, sir, the death of the commander that you should kill six months ago?

Dom Juan

And why worry? Did I not killed?

Sganarelle

Well, the best in the world, and it would be wrong to complain.

Dom Juan

I had my thanks for this case.

Sganarelle

Yes, but this does not extinguish with perhaps resentment of parents and friends, and ...

Dom Juan

Ah! Let us not think of the evil that we can get, and thinking only about what we can give pleasure. The person I'm talking to you is a bride, the nicer the world, which was brought here by the same that she has married, and gave me the chance to see this pair of lovers three or four days before their trip. I never saw two people be so pleased with each other and burst more love. Tenderness seen their mutual passions gave me the emotion I was struck to the heart and began my love by jealousy. Yes, I could not endure to see them first so well together, despite the alarmed my desires, and I imagined an extreme pleasure to be able to disturb their minds and break that commitment, which the delicacy of my heart stood offended ; but hitherto my efforts were useless, and I use the last remedy. The husband claimed his mistress must now enjoy a walk on the sea Without saying anything thee, all things are prepared to meet my love and I have a small boat and people, with which I very easily pretend remove fine.

Sganarelle

Ha! Sir ...

Dom Juan

Huh?

Sganarelle

is very well done to you, and you get it right. Nothing in this world than to content.

Dom Juan

Get ready therefore come with me, and take care of yourself to make all my weapons, so ... Oh! unfortunate encounter. Traitor, you never told me she was here herself.

Sganarelle

Sir, you have not asked me.

Dom Juan

Is it crazy not to have changed clothes, and come into this place with its crew of campaign?

Scene 3

Done Elvire, Don Juan, Sganarelle.

Done Elvire

Will you do me grace, Dom Juan, "as to recognize me? and can I at least hope that you deign to turn his face on that side?

Dom Juan

Madam, I confess I am surprised, and I do not expect you here.

Done Elvire

Yes, I see you're not expecting it and you're surprised, indeed, but quite otherwise than I expected, and how you seem fully convinced me that I refused to believe. I admire my simplicity and weakness of my heart to doubt that as a betrayal of my appearances confirmed. I was pretty good, I confess, or rather silly enough to want me deceive myself, and work to deny me and my decision. I looked for reasons to excuse my tenderness release of friendship she saw in you and I forged hundred subjects express a legitimate precipitate departure, for you to prove the crime of which accused you my reason. I just had great suspicion every day to speak to me I was rejecting the voice that you made criminal in my eyes and listened with pleasure a thousand chimeras ridiculous that you painted in my innocent heart. But after this first no longer allows me to doubt, and the look that tells me I received a lot more than I would like to know. I'm glad to hear though your mouth the reasons for your departure. Talk, Dom Juan, I beg you, and seeing you know how you justify air.

Dom Juan

Madam, this Sganarelle who knows why I left.

Sganarelle

Me, sir? I do not know, please.

Elvira

Done Well! Sganarelle, speak. No matter how mouth I hear those reasons.

Dom Juan , being beckoned to Sganarelle.

Come, speak to Madame.

Sganarelle

What do you want me to say?

Done Elvire

near, since the well wishes, and tell me a bit causes a prompt departure.

Dom Juan

You will not answer?

Sganarelle

I have nothing to say. You mock your servant.

Dom Juan

Will you answer, I tell you?

Sganarelle

Madam ...

Done Elvire

What?

Sganarelle , turning to his master.

Sir ...

Dom Juan

If ...

Sganarelle

Madam, conquerors, Alexander and the other worlds are the causes of our departure. That, Sir, all I can say.

Done Elvire

your pleasure, Dom Juan, we clarify these beautiful mysteries?

Dom Juan

Madam, to tell you the truth ...

Done Elvire

Ah! you know you wrong for defending a courtier, and must be accustomed to these kinds of things! I pity you see the confusion you have. What do you arm yourself with a noble forehead effrontery? What do you swear that you are always in the same feelings for me, that you still love me with a zeal unmatched, and that nothing can detach yourself from me than death? What did I tell you that cases of the last result you have forced me to leave without giving notice, it is necessary that, in spite of you, you live here a while, and I have only 'm back where I come from, provided that you follow my steps as soon as you can, it is certain that you burn to join me, and aloof from me, what you have suffered a body that is separated from his soul? That is as it should defend yourself and not be banned as you are.

Dom Juan

I confess, Madam, I have no talent for disguise, and I wear a sincere heart. I will not tell you that I'm always in the same feelings for you, and I long to join you, since after all it is ensured that I went away for you, not by the reasons you can imagine but by a pure conscience sake, and for not believing you more than I can live without sin. It came scruples, Madam, and I opened my eyes to the soul what I was doing. I did think that to marry you, I've stolen from the closure of a convent, that you broke the vows that you would engage the other, and that Heaven is very jealous of these things. Repentance took me, and I feared the wrath of heaven, and I thought our marriage was a disguised adultery, we would attract a disgrace to the top, and finally I had to try to forget you, and you give way to return to your first chains. Would you, Madam, oppose such a holy thought, and I went, keeping you in, put me on Heaven's arms, as ...?

Done Elvire

Ah! villain, now I know you whole, and unfortunately for me, I'll know when it is too late, and that such knowledge can not serve me well as I despair. But know that your crime will not remain unpunished, and that the same heaven that you mock will avenge me of your perfidy.

Dom Juan

Sganarelle, Heaven!

Sganarelle

Truly yes, we do not care much about that, you know.

Dom Juan

Madam ...

Done Elvire

Just. I do not want to hear more, and I even accused me of having heard too much. It is a cowardice to be told too much shame and, on such subjects, a noble heart, the first word, must take his party. Do not wait till I bust here in reproaches and insults: no, no, I have no one to vent anger in empty words, and all its heat reserves for his revenge. I'll say it again, Heaven will punish you, perfidious, the outrage you do to me, and if Heaven has nothing that you can understand, at least captures the anger of an injured woman.

Sganarelle

If remorse he could take!

Don Juan, after a little reflection.

Come to think of the performance of our business love.

Sganarelle

Ah! How abominable master I see myself obliged to serve!

Rubber Band On Wrist Method

... The art of living ...

I love the memory of those times bare
which Phoebus loved to gild the statues.
Then the man and woman in agility
Enjoyed without falsehood and without anxiety,
And the sky lovers caressing their spine,
in the health of their noble.
Then Cybele products generous
not find her son too heavy a burden,
But wolf at heart swelled with tenderness Commons
Suckled the universe with its brown nipples.
Man, elegant, sturdy and strong, had the right
Be proud beauties who called him their king;
Fruit pure contempt and any blank cracking,
Whose flesh smooth and firm called bites!


The poet today, when he wants to design
These primitive grandeur, in places where there are
see the nakedness of the man and the woman feels a
cold darkness envelop his soul
Before this black table full of menace.
Monstrosities bewailing their clothes!
O trunks ridiculous! torsos worthy masks!
Oh poor twisted body, thin, plump or flaccid,
the god of Useful, implacable and serene
Children, wrapped in swaddling clothes of brass!
And you, women, alas! pale as candles,
What eats and eats debauchery, and you, virgin
of maternal vice dragging heredity
And all the hideousness of fertility!


We have, indeed, corrupt nations,
to the ancient peoples of unknown beauties:
Faces eaten by cankers of the heart,
And as they say the beauty of languor;
But these inventions of our muses late
never prevent unhealthy races
To make the youth a tribute deep
- A holy youth, to look simple, the soft front
A clear and eye clear as running water,
And that will come upon all, carefree
As the blue sky, birds and flowers,
His perfumes, its songs and its sweet heat!

Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867), Les fleurs du mal , 1857, correspondence

L a question of clothing and nudity is certainly that has the greatest importance both from the standpoint of physical health, art and moral health: it is therefore necessary to clarify what we think in this regard, because time is came not to shrink from any discussion. This is a recent achievement of human freedom: a few years ago we would have rejected in advance intrusive as to any proposal where the moral necessity of clothing could have been challenged. Under the influence of this idea of immemorial origin, religion enshrined, unchallenged by morality, it gave way to believe in today's society, so-called civilized conveniences that are found among various peoples in direct proportion to the clothing. The elegant lady pretends not even see those who walk barefoot, their hands, which are par excellence the organs of action, the directors work of human thought, are frequently coated gloves, with most Women Christian non-physical work are forced to veil their faces, in the manner of the Mohammedan, without being forced by other tyrants that fashion: so even the head does not show itself freely, a mist net or crepe stands between the light and nature, even the black dots or red embroidered on the cloth seem to throw a pillowcase over his eyes or sprinkle with buttons on the cheek. Conventions and want, as also in other circumstances the morals of society require that the woman appears in full light shoulders and bare breasts. At the entrance of Charles V in his good city of Antwerp, souls noblest families disputed the honor of appearing naked in the procession of the master, as well as the Directory, you had to dress in transparent fabrics to meet the requirements of fashion. However, it must be said, religion, morality official point openly approve these differences of custom and cope much better traditional clothing, which in some countries such as Tyrol, Brittany, cover the body absolutely and make unrecognizable form. This was the aim of the "Holy Church", which saw the woman the biggest incentive to sin.

Basically, the question is which of nude or clothing, is the safest, most healthy for the harmonic development of man, physically and morally. The first case, there can be no doubt. For hygienists, it is a matter considered that nudity. There is no doubt that the skin regains its vitality and its natural activity when it is freely exposed to air, light, changing phenomena from outside. Sweating is no longer impeded; the functions of the body are restored, it becomes more flexible and yet firm; it pales as a single plant more private day. Experiments on animals have also shown that when the skin is removed from the action of light, red blood cells decreases as the proportion of hemoglobin. This means that life becomes less active and less intense. Another example of this is that the progress of civilization are not necessarily progress and the importance of submitting to the control of science.

Consider examples among the peoples, all travelers agree that Polynesians were the most handsome men before the missionaries, zealous distributors of woolens and cotton, had occurred in the vicinity ocean; we also know that nowhere artists had no more noble understanding of the beauty in the wonderful Hellas, where young and strong fighting, running, playing outdoors, the naked limbs, before the assembled people. It is also aware that the current hygienists who wish to restore the beauty and human health endangered by the lack of method in the food and clothing begin to undress their patients to become accustomed to air and to light. Across Western Europe and into the northern Scotland, establishments have opened, where invalids are rich expose their bare skin to the vivifying action of the wind and sun.

Without doubt the cold regions, such as Scandinavia, and even temperate countries, like almost all populated areas of Europe, have a very harsh winter climate compared to those enjoyed by Pacific Islanders, but shelters and draperies, which are anything but clothes, can also protect them from the cold. Until recently, the Japanese manufacturer that the manners of English had not yet contaminated, do not feel compelled by decency to hide their nakedness and bathed in common is the view of the free play of muscles and Member artists Nippon certainly had their free movement in the use of the brush. They are painters and sculptors who saved the civilization of old Europe in keeping the worship of the human form despite the curses of the church against the flesh. They, however, fought for and won the right to represent the man without the veils that we are legally compelled.

The balance of health, the normal functioning of the body can not recover completely from illness alternatives of cold and heat will continue to threaten the civilized individual as long as the human statue will not "freed from its shroud," as long as man will not again become "completely opposite", to quote a native of the coast of Chile. But it is the view of the moral above the return of the naked beauty is necessary because the artifice of costume and adornment was one of those who, through silly vanity, the servile spirit of imitation and especially by the thousand Vice ingenuity, have most often to the general corruption of society.

One can easily judge in the schools of Fine Arts where the young men, often depraved, draw religiously from the female model, with perfect compliance human form, and indulge in wanton thoughts that later, in contact with women dressed in their finery and trinkets: fashion clothes gave the cup made specially to excite envy. The naked beauty ennobles and purifies; clothing, insidious and deceitful, degrades and perverts.

But fashion still reigns, as the Lord still reigns Capital and the ancient relics of the Church and State. It is therefore hoped that the point mode, which represents the interests of countless providers and responds to an infinite set of small personal passions, abdicates voluntarily or by force to a new regime of art and common sense. Hopefully the less that fashion is the heritage of all the past. It changes from century to century, season to season, but still much less than people imagine usual: it jumps abruptly from one extreme to another, but always taking the forms previously known. None of the old way of adorning and beautifying oneself has disappeared completely, even elegant in our societies. Many men still tattoo themselves, and among the admirals present, we could see that the gloves ceremonies hide an anchor marked in blue at the root of the thumb. European women do not go to ring in the nostril, as Hindu, but she hangs up her ear and she keeps the collar of the savage and wearing the bracelet the captive, is the chain that bound to the pole of the tent. The soldier, who in today's society is the primitive human vanity war and combat, adorned with epaulettes, fringes, stripes in bright colors, plate, crosses enamel or metal flashing, of colored feathers, at the risk of attracting the eye in battle and bullets of the enemy.

But if, among the wealthy classes who want at all to distinguish themselves from ordinary men, love of luxury maintains the separation of classes or even seeks to increase it by dint of spending, the Democratic crowds tend to resemble more the costume is a step forward. In many countries, we can not distinguish much between rich and poor, for the man of taste, even opulent dresses with simplicity, and cleanliness is the rule at all, even for the less fortunate. In addition, the garment of women toiling approximates that of men: those who want to conquer the full freedom of their movements to find ways to get rid of the heavy dresses, corsets, narrow flowery hats.

Some progress was achieved in the positive sense of freedom of dress and yet it was somewhat closer to hygiene. But the great aesthetic and moral revolution that will leave the civilized modern Greek law once had to walk free from diapers to sunlight, this great revolution is still, among all the ambitions of modern man, one who seems the most difficult to achieve.
