'Sir, you are irascible,' said Boswell;
'you have no patience with folly or absurdity.'"

Was that before, or after, he poked Rousseau's wife?

Hi Steve,

There's couple things wrong with that, Who are you referring to and
in what context? Boswell, or Johnson, and certainly not discussed in
"The Life of Johnson" as Boswell was the more, um, adventurous and
more so stated in his "London Journal."

Of course, Boswell... he ran with the Rousseaus, as well
as everyone else. Hump anything on two legs.
