To return to our poet's life history, " V ' Etourdi" was followed by the " Le Depit Amoureux " and met with much success Moliere continued travelling, writing, and performing in different provinces, and, at last, succeeded in establishing himself in Paris, under the protection of the King's brother. Parisian society opened a new field for his talents. Subjects of ridicule multiplied around him ; the most ludicrous follies were so nursed and fostered by the highborn, that he almost feared to att...ack them ; but they were too tempting. In addition to the amusement to be derived from showing in its true colours a most laughable affectation, he hoped to vanquish, by the arms of wit, a system of folly which had infected many of the best intellects. Nowhere was the tendency to take refuge in an imaginary world and through its medium to view the actual, more likely to assert itself, than in those circles where women of taste and accomplishments shone as the patronesses of literature and the leaders of fashion ; and in the capital, at all events, ladies of a less elevated rank were certain to follow in the footsteps of their social superiors.
