Bon-bon

Edgar Allan Poe

Overview

Bon-bon (+biography And Bibliography) (matte Cover Finish): That Pierre Bon-bon Was A Restaurateur Of Uncommon Qualifications, The Cul-de-sac Le Febvre At Rouen, Will, I Imagine, Feel Himself At Liberty To Dispute. That Pierre Bon-bon Was, In An Equal Degree, Skilled In The Philosophy Of That Period Is, I Presume Still More Especially Undeniable. His Pates A La Fois Were Beyond Doubt Immaculate; But What Pen Can Do Justice To His Essays Sur La Nature His Thoughts Sur L'ame His Observations Sur L'esprit? If His Omelettes If His Fricandeaux Were Inestimable, What Litterateur Of That Day Would Not Have Given Twice As Much For An Idee De Bon-bon As For All The Trash Of Idees Of All The Rest Of The Savants? Bon-bon Had Ransacked Libraries Which No Other Man Had Ransacked Had More Than Any Other Would Have Entertained A Notion Of Reading Had Understood More Than Any Other Would Have Conceived The Possibility Of Understanding; And Although, While He Flourished, There Were Not Wanting Some Authors At Rouen To Assert That His Dicta Evinced Neither The Purity Of The Academy, Nor The Depth Of The Lyceum Although, Mark Me, His Doctrines Were By No Means Very Generally Comprehended, Still It Did Not Follow That They Were Difficult Of Comprehension.
