Memoirs of an Egotist
by Stendhal

the first qualification for a writer 6 notes in book one of those poor idiots

handsome but devoid of wit

  1. a likeable, excellent fellow, handsome but devoid of wit, M. Barot, a banker from Charleville, then busy gaining a fortune of eighty thousand francs' annual income;
  2. an officer retired on half-pay, decorated at Waterloo, absolutely deprived of wit, and if such a thing is possible, even more of imagination, foolish, but with perfect manners, and having had so many women that he had become sincere on their subject.
