Canto VII

1951

Honoré Daumier

The Old Method. - Ah, how very funny.... so you are planning to spend the rest of your life tying paper tails to the back of some flies!... Let me see your hands... and you'll only pull them back, when I tell you so!

Poem

1950

Honoré Daumier

Conscript replacement agency. -There's merchandise an' merchandise! You wan' a common replacement, that'll cost yer only 800 F., but I warn yer, they're all swindlers, crooks who don't stay with their regiment, who skedaddle at the first opportunity and who 'ave ter be retrieved.... Would yer like ter make it 1'500 F., take that speciment, it ain't handsome but it's of good composition and it's got papers... As many as yer like an' it don't flinch from six years' service. - Bertrand (aside): You c'n count on it, civilian!"

1837
