It's not a coincidence that court members generally savored their annual visits: Protocol was greatly relaxed, the stables and forest were right out the back door, and a tradition of voluptuary delights — hunting for boar and deer, lovemaking, comfortable rooms — must have made it more of a true home for the king and his courtiers.

She was alternately capable of appearing to be a picture of probity, a sable-draped voluptuary, a faddist nut job (for a classic 1976 edition of "Soul Train," a buxom Franklin performed her single "Jump" dressed in a Creamsicle-colored fringed mesh poncho with an observable lack of supporting undergarments) or one of nature's born royals.

Abbas has been often described as a mere voluptuary, but Nubar Pasha spoke of him as a true gentleman of the "old school". He was seen as reactionary, morose and taciturn, and spent nearly all his time in his palace. He undid, as far as lay in his power, the works of his grandfather, both good and bad. Among other things he abolished trade monopolies, closed factories and schools, and reduced the strength of the region's army to 9,000 men.

He is someone who has thought deeply about human nature, morality and spirituality, and is capable of expressing those thoughts with great clarity. Nastasya Filippovna, the main female protagonist, is darkly beautiful, intelligent, fierce and mocking, an intimidating figure to most of the other characters. Of noble birth but orphaned at age 7, she was manipulated into a position of sexual servitude by her guardian, the voluptuary Totsky. Her broken innocence and the social perception of disgrace produce an intensely emotional and destructive personality.

Returning again and again to the type that would later be called the "Byronic hero",Eisler 1999, p. 759: "The Byronic hero, a doomed aristocrat haunted by dark secrets and forbidden loves, defying the laws of God and man...". "Lord Byron makes man after his own image, woman after his own heart; the one is a capricious tyrant, the other a yielding slave; he gives us the misanthrope and the voluptuary by turns; and with these two characters, burning or melting in their own fires, he makes out everlasting centos of himself."Hazlitt 1930, vol.

The event is named after the River Dee, which runs alongside the racecourse. It was established in 1813, and was originally open to both colts and fillies. In the late 19th century, the distance of the Dee Stakes was about 1½ miles. The race was won by Voluptuary, a subsequent Grand National winner, in 1881. From 1937, the official distance was 1 mile, 4 furlongs and 53 yards. It was cut to 1 mile, 2 furlongs and 10 yards in 1958, and extended by 14 yards in 1970.

In 1786 it became the chief residence of Queen Frederika Louisa of Hesse-Darmstadt, who had been humiliated by her husband, King Frederick William II of Prussia (popularly known as "Der Dicke Lüderjahn", "the portly voluptuary") because of his girth and his numerous affairs and two official morganatic marriages; a monumental gate by Georg Christian Unger was added during this period. The Queen died at Monbijou in 1805. After that, the palace had outlived its usefulness as a residence for members of the court. The Anglican congregation of Berlin began using a gatehouse of Monbijou Palace as the English Chapel from 1855.

Scene 1 A group of Cenobite monks go about their daily business. Athanaël, the most rigorous ascetic of them all, enters and confesses to the senior monk, Palémon, that he has lately been disturbed by visions of a courtesan and priestess of Venus named Thaïs, whom he had seen many years ago in his native city of Alexandria. Believing these visions to be a sign from God, he resolves, against Palémon's advice, to return to Alexandria, convert Thaïs to Christianity, and persuade her to enter a convent. Scene 2 Athanaël arrives in Alexandria and visits his old friend Nicias, a wealthy voluptuary.

He had a reputation for being one of the greatest hosts in Britain. Although he owned a house at Park Lane, Sassoon arranged for Herbert Baker to design another home for him in 1912, Port Lympne in Kent. (Decades later, it became the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park.) "It was a unique building, Italianate and Moorish in its influence, built for a voluptuary of the senses who wanted his rooms to be a rapturous medley of strong, exotic colours and filled with the luscious fragrance of flowers. The formal grounds at Port Lympne were like a Hollywood version of Tuscany," according to a summary of his 2016 biography.

Hamilton details the many charges that he has against Burr in a more extensive letter written shortly afterward, calling him a "profligate, a voluptuary in the extreme", accusing him of corruptly serving the interests of the Holland Land Company while a member of the legislature, criticizing his military commission and accusing him of resigning it under false pretenses, and many more serious accusations. Morgan Lewis, endorsed by Hamilton, defeated Burr in the 1804 New York gubernatorial election. It became clear that Jefferson would drop Burr from his ticket in the 1804 election, so the Vice President ran for the governorship of New York instead.

Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert gave the film four out of four stars, and wrote that "Broken Embraces is a voluptuary of a film, drunk on primary colors, caressing Penélope Cruz, using the devices of a Hitchcock to distract us with surfaces while the sinister uncoils beneath." The film was accepted into the main selection at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival in competition for the prestigious Palme d'Or, Almodóvar's third to do so, and fourth to screen at the festival. Broken Embraces was nominated for the 2010 Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Almodóvar's sixth film to be nominated in this category. It was also nominated for the Satellite Award for Best Foreign Language Film, as well as the Satellite Award for Best Actress for Penélope Cruz's performance.

The bigotry and racism of Walker became evident as he characterized them as "voluptuary", "garrulous", "lazy", "cowardly in battle", and "beggar-like" even after an expedition along the Platte River to meet leaders of Indigenous nations. Walker echoed Grant's recommendation that the Native Americans be forcibly subjugated in internment camps, euphemistically called reservations, of limited mineral or agricultural value so they could be indoctrinated with white values and norms and forced to give up their own culture, languages, belief systems, and ways of life. In November 1872, when whites invaded the homelands of the Modoc nation, settler-led violence in Oregon known as the Modoc War hastened Walker's disinterest in the position and he resigned as Commissioner on December 26, 1872 to take a faculty position at Yale. Remarkably, Walker criticized his successors' graft, corruption, and abuse of power in subsequent years and published The Indian Question in 1874, a racist screed reflecting the racist bias so pervasive in the American culture of the 19th and 20th centuries.
