e? HIM: Don't press me on this question. I can give you an argument. ME: Which of these two options would you prefer--that Racine had been a good man, known for his business, like Briasson, or for his yardstick, like Barbier, getting his wife regularly pregnant every year with legitimate children, a good husband, a good father, a good uncle, a good neighbour, an honest merchant, but nothing more--or that he had been deceitful, treacherous, ambitious, envious, and nasty, but the author of Andromache, Britannicus, Iphigeneia, Phedre, and Athalie? HIM: For him I imagine it would perhaps have been better if he'd been the first of the two. ME: What you've just said is infinitely truer than you think. HIM: There you go, you others! If we say something good, it's as if we're mad or inspired--just a fluke. It's only you others who really understand what you're saying. Yes, Mister Philosopher, I understand what I'm saying, and I understand that just as much as you understand what you're saying.
