Literature | Carabas He is a Marquis of Carabas. A fossil nobleman, of unbounded pretensions and vanity, who would fain restore the slavish foolery of the reign of Louis XIV.; one with Fortunatus's purse, which was never empty. The character is taken from Perrault's tale of Puss in Boots. "Prêtres que nous vengeons Levez la drine et partageons; Et toi, peuple animal, Porte encor le bât feodal. ... Chapeau bas! Chapeau bas! Gloire au marquis de Carabas!" Béranger, 1816. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
