Smitten: Duke de Levis on Louis XV

"He had the most beautiful eyes in the world, and his glance gave the impression of exceptional dignity, and this deeply affected me, although I was but a child when I saw him."

    Madame de Pompadour was quite in love with him too. He was very handsome and quite kingly in manner, even if he was not the best executive the country could've had (putting it mildly).
