The palace on its dais rules the scene. The village and ornamental environment have been constructed to augment its majesty. Even the soil has been \"molded into new forms\" at a monarch's caprice. Versailles is the expression of monarchy, as conceived by Louis XIV. It is the only epic produced in his reign-a reign so fertile in the other forms of poetry, and in talent of all kinds. What epic ever chronicled the destiny of an epoch in a manner more brilliant and complete? In this poem of stone the manners of heroic and familiar life mingle at every step.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francis Loring Payne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 171562968X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781715629687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blurb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Francis Loring Payne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742624264447,"sku":"9781715629687","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-story-of-versailles-esprios-francis-loring-payne-9781715629687","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
