--
The fashion of liking Racine will pass away like that of coffee.

According to Voltaire, Letters (Jan. 29, 1690), who connected two remarks of hers to make the phrase; one from a letter March 16, 1679, the other, March 10, 1672. La Harpe reduced the mot to "Racine passera comme le café?"Marie de Rabutin-Chantal Sevigne
