Czerwone i czarne (Stendhal, 1932) — Stendhal

There also was of course in AdelineThat calm patrician polish in the adresse.Which ne’er can pass the equinoctial lineOf any thing which Nature would express:Just as a Mandarin finds nothing fine,At least his manner suffers not to guessThat any thing he views can greatly please.Don Juan, XIII, 84.
