19th Century Baller

When he was taken to court for his advocacy of free love, he appeared in Hessian boots and a velvet cloak trimmed with ermine.  Asked to defend his behavior, he stood motionless and silent, then explained that he wished the court to have a quiet moment to reflect on his beauty.

On Prosper Enfantin, from “The Path Between the Seas”
