Excerpt from Fame's Pathway: A Romance of a Genius It was a fateful moment when their glances met - Madeleine Bejart standing up to her full height, barearmed, gracefully formed, radiant, and tall; Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, student of the laws, a-tremble and blushing. She saw a thick-lipped youth, and she would not have looked again but for the godlike eyes; in the glare of the candles, he saw a face white and beautiful against the red-gold hair, and love leaped to his heart - the ardent love of youth. The crown upon her splendid head was tinsel; the jewels on her breast were glass; but the candid blue eyes were real, he knew, and so were the curving lips. The theatre was but a tennis-court; the stage, rough planks athwart rude trestles; the scenery, a strip of painted cloth. Dull louts stood gaping in the pit; bourgeois housewives munched oranges within the tawdry boxes; but, had she played to king and cardinal, she could not have been one whit more a girl to be adored. There may have been some in that city of Paris whose charms were equal to hers, but Jean-Baptiste made certain there were none. "One would think you had never seen a pretty actress," said the friend who stood beside him - Claude Chapelle, young lover of the joys of life and poesy. "I have never seen such an one," he answered with a sigh. "One would think you were in love." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
