To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
... If among these mistresses of the king there were a single one who had enjoyed her shameful triumphs in peace, who had called herself happy in the midst of her dearly bought luxury and splendor, one might have concluded that, from a merely human point of view, it is possible to find happi- ness in vice. But, no — there is not even one!" Massillon, the great preacher of truth and morality, said: " The worm of conscience is not dead; it is only benumbed. The alienated reason presently returns,... bringing with it bitter troubles, gloomy thoughts, and cruel anxieties" — a true picture of every mistress.
The remarkable power and influence of these women, the love and adoration accorded them, ceased with their death; the memory of them did not survive overnight.
MISTRESSES AND WIVES OF LOUIS XIV 135 When, during a terrible storm, the remains of the glorious Mme. de Pompadour were being taken to Paris, the king, seeing the funeral cortege from his window, remarked: "The Marquise will not have fine weather for her journey," Each one of these powerful mistresses represents a complete epoch of society, morals, and customs.
