There is fascinating stuff being produced by Charles Bazalgette about his ancestor, Louis, who was Prinny's tailor. There is a link in my sidebar here and no need for me to add to the author's own words.
THE NAKED APE GETS DRESSED. For those who strive for better things and who understand, as did Ben Jonson, that: "the pipe marks the point at which the orang-utan ends and man begins". - And those who understand S T Coleridge's: "While Fate tramples on things of beauty, the indignant human heart shall utter them."
Hi Nicholas,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for posting this!
I have added you to my blogroll in return.
(Funny term, at least to Brits - 'bog-rolls' don't seem to be known on this side of the pond).
All good wishes,
Charles
Thank you too! Yes, 'bog-rolls' seem especially English; also in Lincoln's Inn the former communal lavatories were known as 'Boghouse'!
