Excerpt from Sylvandire: A Romance of the Reign of Louis XIV "The reign of Louis XIV.," says M. Arsfcne Hous-saye,1 "is divided into three periods, dominated by three influences, - three stars, three women. "The first is the epoch of half-Spanish, half-French gallantry. It is personified in Mademoiselle de la Vallikre. . . . "The second period of the reign is symbolized by Madame de Montespan, . . . who exults in being queen by grace of Love. With her opens the military epic, the era of conquest. The tendency is to materialism of the heart, to paganism of sentiment ... It is the age of action, of maturity, of strength. Everything yields to the victorious king, - citadels and women. "The third and last part of the reign is summed up in Madame de Maintenon. Sensual mysticism has replaced the pomp and activity of the old court. The dying century becomes a hermit, glory takes the veil. . . . Louis XIV., that king over whom a woman reigns, droops slowly toward his grave. . . . Madame de Maintenon is the hand by which the Gallican church sways the old age of Louis XIV.
