銆€銆€The bugaboo!"
BOOK FIRST.--PARIS STUDIED IN ITS ATOM
CHAPTER IV
銆€銆€HE MAY Nike Heels BE OF USE
銆€銆€ Paris begins with the lounger and ends with the street Arab, two beings of which no other city is capable; the passive acceptance, which contents itself with gazing, and the inexhaustible initiative; Prudhomme and Fouillou.
銆€銆€Paris alone has this in its natural history. The whole of the monarchy is contained in the lounger; the Nike High Heels whole of anarchy in the gamin.
銆€銆€This pale child of the Parisian faubourgs lives and develops, makes connections, "grows supple" in suffering, in the presence of social realities and of human things, a thoughtful witness. He thinks himself heedless; and he is not.
銆€銆€He looks and is on the verge of laughter; he is on the verge of Nike Heels something else also. Whoever you may be, if your name is Prejudice, Abuse, Ignorance, Oppression, Iniquity, Despotism, Injustice, Fanaticism, Tyranny, beware of the gaping gamin.
銆€銆€The little fellow will grow up.
銆€銆€Of what clay is he made?
銆€銆€Of the first mud that comes to hand. A handful of dirt, a breath, and behold Adam.
銆€銆€It suffices for a God to UGG Boots Clearance pass by.
銆€銆€A God has always passed over the street Arab. Fortune labors at this tiny being.
銆€銆€By the word "fortune" we mean chance, to some extent.
銆€銆€That pigmy kneaded out of common earth, ignorant, unlettered, giddy, vulgar, low.
銆€銆€Will that become an Ionian or a Boeotian?
銆€銆€Wait, currit rota, the Spirit of Paris, that demon which creates the children of UGGS Clearance chance and the men of destiny, reversing the process of the Latin potter, makes of a jug an amphora.

CHAPTER V
銆€銆€HIS FRONTIERS
銆€銆€ The gamin loves the city, he also loves solitude, since he has something of the sage in him.
銆€銆€Urbis amator, like Fuscus; ruris amator, like Flaccus.
銆€銆€To roam thoughtfully about, that UGG Boots Clearance is to say, to lounge, is a fine employment of time in the eyes of the philosopher; particularly in that rather illegitimate species of campaign, which is tolerably ugly but odd and composed of two natures, which surrounds certain great cities, notably Paris.
