<br>    [The author of the " Tablettes de France," and "Anecdotes des Rois      de France," thinks that Marguerite alludes to Brantome's "Anecdotes"      in the beginning of her first letter, where she says: "I should      commend your work much more were I myself not so much praised in      it."  (According to the original: "Je louerois davantage votre      oeuvre,Michael Kors outlet, si elle ne me louoit tant.")  If so, these letters were      addressed to Brantome, and not to the Baron de la Chataigneraie, as      mentioned in the Preface to the French edition.  In Letter I.      mention is made of Madame de Dampierre, whom Marguerite styles the      aunt of the person the letter is addressed to.  She was dame      d'honneur, or lady of the bedchamber, to the Queen of Henri III.,      and Brantome, speaking of her, calls her his aunt.  Indeed, it is      not a matter of any consequence to whom these Memoirs were      addressed; it is,Air Jordan Homme, however, remarkable that Louis XIV. used the same      words to Boileau, after hearing him read his celebrated epistle upon      the famous Passage of the Rhine; and yet Louis was no reader, and is      not supposed to have adopted them from these Memoirs.  The thought      is, in reality, fine, but might easily suggest itself to any other.      "Cela est beau," said the monarch, "et je vous louerois davantage,      si vous m'aviez moins loue."  (The poetry is excellent, and I should      praise you more had you praised me less.)<br><br>of the life of Marguerite, written during her before-mentioned retreat, when she was, as he says ("fille unique maintenant restee, de la noble maison de France"), the only survivor of her illustrious house.  Brantome praises her excellent beauty in a long string of laboured hyperboles. Ronsard, the Court poet, has done the same in a poem of considerable length, wherein he has exhausted all his wit and fancy.  From what they have said, we may collect that Marguerite was graceful in her person and figure, and remarkably happy in her choice of dress and ornaments to set herself off to the most advantage; that her height was above the middle size, her shape easy, with that due proportion of plumpness which gives an appearance of majesty and comeliness.  Her eyes were full,Michael Kors, black, and sparkling; she had bright, chestnut-coloured hair, and a complexion fresh and blooming.  Her skin was delicately white, and her neck admirably well formed; and this so generally admired beauty, the fashion of dress,Michael Kors Replica, in her time, admitted of being fully displayed.<br><br>Such was Queen Marguerite as she is portrayed, with the greatest luxuriance of colouring, by these authors.  To her personal charms were added readiness of wit, ease and gracefulness of speech, and great affability and courtesy of manners.  This description of Queen Marguerite cannot be dismissed without observing, if only for the sake of keeping the fashion of the present times with her sex in countenance, that, though she had hair, as has been already described, becoming her, and sufficiently ornamental in itself, yet she occasionally called in the aid of wigs.  Brantome's words are: "l'artifice de perruques bien gentiment faconnees."<br>The related articles here you may like:<br> <ul><br>  <br> </ul>The related articles here you may like:
