"Such political consequences as it [the Congress of Vienna] achieved were in the main disastrous and brought much misery. But its glittering gaiety had one odd result. It gave Vienna--a fine but rather sombre city, with not a particularly happy history--a curious glamour, a touch of magic, determinedly exploited by writers and composers of operettas and the like, that refused to vanish until after the First World War, when even the ghost of the Congress stopped dancing." --J B Pri*stl*y, Th* Princ* of Pl*asur* (1969)
