A man, of whom I could see nothing but a silhouette, so impenetrable was the shadow around us, appeared without a sound.<\/p>\n<p> &quot;What, in fact, do you sell here?&quot;, I demanded of him in the thoughtlessness of my surprise.<\/p>\n<p> &quot;Ideas&quot;, he replied to me, in a very simple tone.<\/p>\n<p> He grasped a small box and, began to rummage around in the dust:<\/p>\n<p> &quot;Would you be an utopian, by chance? Pardon the indiscretion. Do you want ideas of peace and of universal happiness? They are not dear and I have many for sale at the moment. Take them, and you may have the whole lot for 2 fr.50.&quot;<\/p>\n<p> And, before my gesture of refusal:<\/p>\n<p> &quot;Ah! you have sense: I do not guarantee their solidity. Now, here is a financial idea, but it is extremely rare and costly. I could not surrender it to you for less than three thousand francs.&quot;<\/p>\n<p> &quot;Devil! did I, three thousand francs, that&#39;s&#8230;&quot;<\/p>\n<p> He calmly interrupted me.<\/p>\n<p> &quot;An idea less new than this one has made the fortune of a founder of American trusts. I have not profited personally, because being too rich would bore me. I would lose my friends and the respect of the quarter.&quot;<\/p>\n<p> Something like a reflection of gold shone between his fingers.<\/p>\n<p> &quot;Now if, like me, you despise opulence, or if, which is more probable, this idea seems too high priced for you, here is, at a very good value, the dream of a poet. Three sous, this is reasonable, don&#39;t you find?&quot;<\/p>\n<p> And he showed me a glimmer of rainbow imprisoned in a box of colours.<\/p>\n<p> &quot;Finally, as you appear to me to belong to the serious clientele, I propose to you (your countenance is creased with a grimace which should have been a smile) the magnificent idea of a libertine, all but made new, you know, and of an exceptional refinement. I would let you have it for a thousand francs. It is worth more, but this is so that you will return often to buy others from me. I truly have a collection without equal.&quot;<\/p>\n<p> &quot;Yes&quot;, I said, &quot;but some of your merchandise seems to me to be well used.&quot;<\/p>\n<p> &quot;Ah!&quot;, he replied with pride, &quot;these, like antique furniture, are justly the most appreciated by my clientele. But do you see nothing that can satisfy you?&quot;<\/p>\n<p> &quot;I desire an idea that you can never sell me: an idea of my own.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><b style=\"display : block; background : url(https:\/\/secure.uk-h.net\/b\/box-bottom-clear.png) no-repeat bottom right; height : 60px; width : 100%; position : relative; top : -10px; left : 50px;\"><\/b><\/ul>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stumbleupon Review of : http:\/\/www.valkyria.ca\/renee_vivien_page.html THE SHOP OF IDEAS In an old quarter of the city, I discovered a strange little boutique where no shop window and no signboard attracted attention, and in which no one haggled, nor watched those &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/su.blog.bunty.tv\/?p=43500327\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":""},"categories":[],"tags":[305],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/su.blog.bunty.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43500327"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/su.blog.bunty.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/su.blog.bunty.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/su.blog.bunty.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/su.blog.bunty.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=43500327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/su.blog.bunty.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43500327\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/su.blog.bunty.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=43500327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/su.blog.bunty.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=43500327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/su.blog.bunty.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=43500327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
