There, beneath the shadow of those marble walls, where once the sainted Borromeo preached, the cunningest Parisian artists may be found -- so rich in corn and wine and silk are Lombard plains-modists and mercers, corset-makers, lacemen, skilled so to clothe the limbs of beauty, that every fold shall but display the perfect handiwork of nature, yet add to it the further grace of art.
A Siren Thomas Adolphus Trollope 1851
