Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) ruling by the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by United States District Court For The Eastern District Of Pennsylvania (epub ebook reader .TXT) 📕

Nous n'entreprenons point ici la tâche d'articuler les progrès de l'antique Lutèce qui, dans son origine, n'avait que dix hommes pour la perception de l'impôt, puis avait seulement deux portes d'entrée, tandis qu'aujourd'hui elle possède cinquante-huit barrières dont plusieurs sont des chefs-d'oeuvres d'architecture.

Tous les embellissements sont prodigués dans Paris; le Carrousel est devenu une magnifique place d'armes: les belles rues de Castiglione, de la Paix se prolongent jusqu'aux Boulevards, au travers de la place Vendôme. La fontaine Médicis et quatre cents autres fournissent de l'eau aux habitants de cette riche cité. Nous n'avons ni la hardiesse, ni le projet d'esquisser les palais éclatants, les monuments innombrables qui décorent, avec tant de splendeur, la capitale de la France; nous n'entreprendrons point de détailler ni le palais des Tuileries, ni le Palais-Royal, avec ses brillantes arcades, ni ceux du Luxembourg, du Louvre et de ses galeries de peinture, ni Notre-Dame-de-Paris, ni le Dôme des Invalides, ni tant d'édifices imposants, ni les théâtres variés, où rien ne manque, et où les sommités artistiques de tous les pays viennent chercher des suffrages et des couronnes. Toutes ces splendides descriptions ont été livrées au public; il ne nous appartient point non plus d'établir un parallèle entre ces chefs-d'oeuvres et les merveilles de l'Italie, ni d'opposer les tableaux du Poussin, surnommé le Raphaël de France, à ceux du Tintoret et du Véronèse.

Nous n'avons rien trouvé de comparable au Jardin des Plantes de Paris, qu'on se plaît à embellir tous les jours, même d'éclatants édifices de verre, pour la conservation ou l'éducation des plantes exotiques.

Nous n'avons eu d'autre but, en écrivant, que de rappeler des souvenirs, ou d'aider et d'offrir un flambeau à ceux qui voudraient visiter un jour les délicieuses contrées méridionales que nous avons parcourues. En livrant à l'impression nos feuilles de voyage, nos esquisses et nos vues de la journées, comme elles se présentaient à nos investigations, nous avons cru acquitter une dette à notre pays.

Malgré les embarras que nous donnait, sur la route et dans les hôtels, notre chien du Mont Saint-Bernard, originaire des Abruzzes, nous nous trouvons dédommagés par sa possession: présentement, il a l'apparence d'un des jeunes lions de Canova.

Nous reprîmes vite le chemin de notre habitation; nous avons eu le bonheur d'y retrouver le cher Théodore plein de santé, grâces aux soins, aux lumières et à l'amitié de M. le Docteur Legouais. Nous voyons germer avec plaisir ses heureuses dispositions; il balbutie déjà les noms de Rome et de Naples.

Nous avons encore l'indicible satisfaction d'assister au banquet de nos parents, de nos amis, de les retrouver pleins de joie et de santé: rien de fâcheux ne s'était passé dans notre absence. Nous nous livrons ensemble au délicieux mémento de Sorrento, des huîtres exquises de l'Achéron, nous portons des toasts aux habitants de Pompéïa et d'Herculanum, que nous avons salués aux Champs-Élysées. Adieu donc, belle Italie! bords chéris, fontaines et naïades de ces lieux enchanteurs; adieu beaux monuments éternels, riches d'émotions et de plaisir, patrie de nos pensées!

     «Nous en conserverons
     Tant que nous vivrons
     La douce mémoire»
