] The unsuccessfulest negotiation well imaginable by a public man. Strehlen, Monday, 7th August, 1741:--Friedrich has vanished into theinterior of his tent; and the two Diplomatic gentlemen, the wind struckout of them in this manner, remain gazing at one another. Here truly isa young Royal gentleman that knows his own mind, while so many do not. Unspeakable imbroglio of negotiations, mostly insane, welters over allthe Earth; the Belleisles, the Aulic Councils, the British Georges, heaping coil ...upon coil: and here, notably, in that now so extremelysordid murk of wiggeries, inane diplomacies and solemn deliriums, darknow and obsolete to all creatures, steps forth one little HumanFigure, with something of sanity in it: like a star, like a gleamof steel, --shearing asunder your big balloons, and letting out theirdiplomatic hydrogen;--salutes with his hat, "Gentlemen, Gentlemen, itis of no use!" and vanishes into the interior of his tent.
