Berlioz introduced a monolog into his Lelio cursing out all such desecrators: "They are like the vulgar birds that swarm in our public gardens and perch arrogantly on the most beautiful statues; and when they have fouled the forehead of Jupiter, the arm of Hercules, or the bosom of Venus, strut about with as much pride and satisfaction as if they had laid a golden egg." Composing never made a living for Berlioz and his double menage. For years he wrote magazine articles but he resented
...South's cotton belt, full of violence undramatically organized. As the poor tenant farmers' emancipator, Richard Barthelmess lifts his shining face toward a new day when landlords and tenants will "co-operate."

I will loyally and patriotically fulfill the office of Provisional President of the republic, looking only and always to the welfare of the country. If I fail to do so, may the nation hold me responsible...
...influences to be detected in his work. It appears not only in the implicit irony of his tale, but also in the "tendency to take his vocabulary for an airing." Such redundant phrases, frequently occurring, as "protested the impossibility of such omission," and "immeasurable adulation gushed from her generous bosom" are not only bad writing: they are a kind of bad writing which went out a generation ago, and there is little excuse for reviving it today...
