Philippe du Plessis de Bellière in the work by Anne Golon
(p. 52 - 53) Thus addressed, the handsome adolescent stepped forward resignedly and bowed his fair head deeply in a greeting that was somewhat exaggerated in view of the rustic look of the person for whom it was intended. (p. 53) Angélique noticed her young cousin's contemptuous glance at the dark and decrepit drawing-room. Philippe du Plessis's eyes were of a very light blue but as cold as steel. The same glance that had brushed the faded tapestries, the sparse fire in the hearth and even the old grandfather with his old-fashioned ruff, now turned towards the door, and the fair eye brows rose while a mocking half smile hovered on his lips. (p. 59) She had never seen such a beautiful boy. His hair, whose silky fringe curled over his brow, was of a brilliant golden hue which made her own curls seem a dull brown. His features were perfect. His fine grey broadcloth suit, trimmed with lace and blue ribbons, was becoming to his pink-and-white complexion. It was true that he could have been taken for a girl, had it not been for the hardness of his gaze, which was quete unfeminine. GOLON, Sergeanne. Angélique, the Marquise of the Angels. London: Pan Major, 1961. (p. 218) One of there, however, conjured up a memory, but it was so vague that she could not define it. He was tall, lanky boy, wearing a magnificent, golden-blond wig. Not as drunk as the others, he was leaning against one of the pillars of the room and pretending to file his fingernails (...) His very pale blue eyes had an icy, scornful expression. (p. 260) A few steps from her, framed by the tender green of a shrub, a tall young man was standing, casually propped against the base of a marble statue. He was of outstanding beauty, to which the elegance of his clothes added further perfection. His almond-green velvet suit was overlaid with gold embroideries in a pattern of birds and flowers. It was a little extravagant, but as beautiful as the livery of spring. A white hat adorned with green plumes sat on his flowing, fair wig. Set in the frame of those long curls, his pink-and-white face, softly dabbed with power, sported a blond moustache finely drawn in a single stroke. His eyes were large, and of a transparent blue which took on a greenish hue in the leafy shade. GOLON, Sergeanne. Angélique, the Road to Versailles. London: Pan Books, 1966. |
Philippe du Plessis de Bellière in the work by Anne Golon
(p. 261) "He is so handsome and so fond of war that the King calls him Mars." (p. 302 - 303) Several times she was about to open her mouth, but the young man's imperturbable profile discouraged her. His eyes gazing into space, he was slowly moving his cheeks as he sucked a fennel lozenge. Angélique said to herself that she would make him give up this habit once they were married. When one has such an ethereal beauty, one has not the right to indulge in anything that makes one look like a ruminant. GOLON, Sergeanne. Angélique, the Road to Versailles. London: Pan Books, 1966. (p. 43) Philippe du Plessis-Bellière descended the staircase to meet them. In his hand was the wand with the stag's hoof. (…) "His leg is as shapely as the King's," remarked someone near Angélique. "But he walks with less grace. Philippe du Plessis-Bellière always strides as if he were setting out to battle." (p. 44) Philippe stood nearest to the savage horde armed with only a riding crop. From time to time he struck at them casually when they got into fights and seamed ready to devour one another. Soon the beasts would separate, growling but subdued. The cool temerity of the Master of the Hunt, standing so straight in his gorgeous, blood-drenched costume, his blond head so arrogant and his laces and jewels so sumptuous, added a strange and fascinating dimension to the barbaric scene. (p. 204) She entered without knocking. He was sprawled naked across the bed, and through the heavy lace of the bed-curtains she beheld his powerful chest smooth and pale as marble in the moonlight. His face looked different in sleep. The short curly hair he hid under his wig, his long lashes, his relaxed mouth, bestowed on him the serene innocence of an archaic Greek statue. His head lolling on one shoulder, his outstretched arms, made him seem defenseless. Standing at the foot of the bed, Angélique held her breath. His beauty touched her heart as she perceived details she had never seen before—a child's chain with a crucifix hanging around the neck of this gladiator, a mole on his left breast, scars that attested to battles and duels. GOLON, Sergeanne. Angélique and the King. London: Pan Books, 1968. |
