From time to time he lifted his hand and eyes to the sky and cried out. "Isn't that beautiful, by God? Isn't it beautiful? How could anyone have a pair of ears on his head and even raise such a question?" FROM TIME TO TIME HE LIFTED HIS HAND AND EYES TO THE SKY AND CRIED OUT ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL BY GOD ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL HOW COULD ANYONE HAVE A PAIR OF EARS ON HIS HEAD AND EVEN RAISE SUCH A QUESTION
humbly on the altar beside the idol of the country. Gradually, it gets stronger. One fine day it nudges its comrade with an elbow, and, bang crash, the idol is on the floor. They say that's how the Jesuits planted Christianity in China and India. And these Jansenists can say whatever they please, but the political method which marches towards its goal quietly, without bloodshed, without martyrs, without a single tuft of hair being cut off, seems to me the best. ME: There's some reason in everything you've just said. HIM: Reason! So much the better. The devil take me if I've been trying to be reasonable. It just comes out somehow or other. I'm like the musicians at the Impasse when my uncle appeared. If I speak well it's because a boy from a coal mine will always speak better of his trade than an entire academy and all the Duhamels of this world. And then there he goes walking around, humming some tunes froml'Ile des Fous, Peintre amoureux de son Modèle, Maréchal-ferrant, and Plaideuse.
