Musée de Cluny

The palace of Thermes in the Rue de la Hobe served as a shop for a cooper.

On the platform of the octagonal tower of the Hotel de Cluny, the little shed of boards which had served as an observatory to Messire, the naval astronomer under Louis XIV, was still to be seen.

The Duchess de Duras read to three or four friends her unpublished Origa in her boudoir furnished by ten in sky-blue satin.

The ends were scratched off the Louvre.

It's beautiful.

I mean, you know, I've seen the tapestry at the Cluny Museum and, you know, The Lady and the Unicorn, and I thought, "Wow." It wasn't until I got there that I'm like, "Oh my goodness, wow," you know?

It's another level.

Yeah, it's completely another level, you know?

The writer of the Ortus Sanitatis, on the other hand, holds the opinion that amber is generated under the sea, after the manner of the fungi which arise on land.

The treatises on animals and fishes are full of pictures of mythical creatures, such as a unicorn being caressed by a lady as though it were a little dog, text figure 17, recalling the Lady and Unicorn tapestry in the Musée Cluny, a fight between a man and Hydrus, the phoenix and the flames, and a harpy with its claws in a man's body.

Other monsters which are figured include a dragon, the basilisk, Pegasus, and a bird with a long neck which is tied in an ornamental knot.

Later Latin editions of the Ortus Sanitatis were printed in Germany and Italy, and translations were also popular.

The close of each after-dinner talk in the salon found this mutual attraction more strongly felt, their growing friendship and regard more strongly cemented.

harold began to refuse invitations to card parties receptions and balls which for lack of a better way to spend his evenings he had formerly accepted for he had many acquaintances in the american colony and passed his evenings at his hitherto dull boarding-house instead he found beryl different from all the women whom he had known in society she had a fresh originality which charmed him and his interest was continually piqued by the fact that he had not quite solved her she never hesitated to express to him her feelings on all subjects but he noticed that her conversation was never personal as to experiences and that she never touched on her past into which he did not try to force an entrance but would have felt privileged to go her manner had the artlessness of a child with the reserve of a woman he never tired of looking into her beautiful eyes where he revelled in a new wonderland each changing expression he found more charming than the last hers were in truth eyes that spoke harold told her many stories of his life in america and europe for he had been a great traveller and her eyes formed the running accompaniment to all that he said he often read to her and her appreciation was so keen and sympathetic that he found a double pleasure in his favourite authors and beryl what were these days to her where was she drifting what did it mean to her when she stopped to think she realised that she was happy and wondered at it but youth is forgetful and hers was a nature that lent itself to happiness naturally she only knew that life seemed very sweet not with the old freedom from care but more deep more abiding and more satisfying than any happiness she had known she had been happy without knowledge or question now she was happy with the knowledge and appreciation of her good fortune which comes with maturer joys she only knew that she possessed a great abiding content that permeated all her being never for one moment did she analyze its cause if any one had suggested to her that she loved the man who was gradually becoming her daily companion she would have refuted this as altogether untrue love to her had meant something so different from this sense of rest and sympathy this sweet companionship in which all her better senses were satisfied that she could not have connected these two sentiments under the same term to have likened that mad childish passionate adoration for one whom she had now learned to despise bitterly to this pure elevated friendship which she felt for her friend harold would have been to desecrate it she only knew that the earth had become very lovely to her that god's air seemed good to breathe that she felt kinder and nobler and truer than ever before that her ideals grew grander her sentiments more exalted and her longings more intense day followed day and left her in the enjoyment of her new-found joy nameless yet existing acknowledged but not questioned we must get away from a picture in order to see its greatest defects or its greatest beauties so it is in the history of our lives we only realize what is meant by an experience when we stand sufficiently away from it to look it full in the face beryl had realized this fact in regard to her old life its countless errors and strange mistakes she wondered she had possessed the folly to commit forgetting that then as now she had been carried on by the force of the present too absorbed to think or to care about what it might mean in its georges character grew more and more distasteful to her as she had time to look back and see how selfishly he had disregarded appearances for her she did not know that her contempt for georges was increased by her growing admiration for another and widely different character harold was her friend he had told her so many times in the months that she had now known him her ideas of friendship became so high that she wondered how people could wish for more harold told her that only the highest natures could fathom all that a true friendship meant and she believed that through him she had been permitted to be one of these they made many happy excursions together harold telling her the history of the interesting points and places they revelled together in the treasuries of the musee de cluny they listened entranced to the grand music in notre dame and the madeleine they wandered through the parks and bois and sat under the trees in the garden of the tuileries all paris was beginning to have new associations for her living in a totally different quarter she seldom frequented the old paths and she hoped to obliterate old associations in the new but she did not always succeed in this her nature was peculiarly sensitive to the influence of associations and there were times when such little things brought all back with the poignancy of an old grief newly awakened at such times her face which had been harold's pleasant study ever since she came into his life changed so perceptibly that he wondered again and again what lay beneath the surface of her reserve which in all her moods be they gay or sad never left her he felt like one who can watch the grand spectacle hear the discourse listen to the music be fascinated before the footlights but can never get behind the scenes he had too much finesse and too much appreciation of the delicacy of her nature and the great part that she gave him freely to pry behind the curtains she set between them but none the less he felt hurt that he could get no nearer and fathom the look of unutterable sadness that he sometimes saw in her eyes at such times he felt left out of her life and it annoyed him it was the czech reign that held him back when he might have lost his head and asked for something more than this platonic friendship dear as it was but he hated mystery his own life was a clear open page all who wished might read he was not only american but intensely bostonian nurtured in the purity of a new england home there still remained in him something of the puritan he adhered with an old-fashioned simplicity to the traditions of his youth and one of them was that the woman he asked to be his wife must have had no past yet he freely acknowledged that she was the most congenial spirit he had ever encountered he loved to talk to her of his art always finding her most sympathetic He told her about his great effort, which had for many months been maturing in his brain, and which he hoped to finish for the next salon, and of his difficulties in finding...

Apart from these mythological subjects, there are a number of very curious engravings.

a tree called bauza for instance which was believed to exhale a narcotic poison like the fabulous upas tree has two men lying beneath its shade apparently in the sleep of death among the herbs substances such as starch vinegar cheese soap etc are included and as these do not lend themselves to direct representation they become the excuse for a delightful set of genre pictures wine is illustrated by a man gazing at a glass bread by a housewife with loaves on the table before her water by a fountain honey by a boy who seems to be extracting it from the comb and milk by a woman milking a cow the picture which appears under the heading of amber shows great ingenuity the writer points out that this substance according to some authors is the fruit or gum of a tree growing by the sea while according to others it is produced by a fish or by sea foam in order to represent all these possibilities the figure shows the sea indicated in a conventional fashion with a tree going out of it and a fish swimming in it the writer of the autosanitades on the other hand holds the opinion that amber is generated under the sea after the manner of the fungi which arise on land The treatises on animals and fishes are full of pictures of mythical creatures, such as a unicorn being caressed by a lady as though it were a little dog, text figure 17, recalling the lady and unicorn tapestry in the Musée Cluny, a fight between a man and Hydrus, the phoenix in the flames, and a harpy with its claws in a man's body.
