These two unconventional Bohemian lovers, strolling together at night, at their own sweet will, see down the court along which they are strolling, three lampions flare, which indicate some big place or other where the “respectables” do congregate; and the woman says to her companion, with a humorous sarcasm, “Put forward your best foot!” that is, we must be very correct passing along here in this brilliant light.

And then, If haply our hand be set beneath one eye And press below thereon, then to our gaze Each object which we gaze on seems to be, By some sensation twain--then twain the lights Of lampions burgeoning in flowers of flame, And twain the furniture in all the house, Two-fold the visages of fellow-men, And twain their bodies.

Indeed your earthly beacons of the night, The hanging lampions and the torches, bright With darting gleams and dense with livid soot, Do hurry in like manner to supply With ministering heat new light amain; Are all alive to quiver with their fires,-- Are so alive, that thus the light ne'er leaves The spots it shines on, as if rent in twain: So speedily is its destruction veiled By the swift birth of flame from all the fires.

Sur l'air des _lampions_ un loustic improvisa rapidement des paroles de circonstance; il chanta seul d'abord, sa voix monta claire et grêle dans le matin radieux: _Arsay j'ai vu Arsay j'ai vu Ton dos (1) Arsay ton dos Arsay ton dos Je l'ai vu._ (1) Pour être très exact, je dois dire que le narrateur ne se servit pas précisément de ce dernier mot; c'est par pudeur pour nos lecteurs que je fais cette légère altération historique.

Although the body of light proceeding from _lampions_ of this description braves the weather, yet the smoke which they produce, is no inconsiderable drawback on the effect of their splendour.
