Have a trivia question that I cannot answer, as I am not fluent in French to be able to do, nor do I know French at all. So anyone with the answer, it is greatly appreciated.

Which three word French term beginning with 'La', is the title of an 1890's play by a well known dramatist and can be used to describe a female epitome of grace and beauty who somehow always seems to be aloof or unapproachable?

La Sainte Courtisane by Oscar Wilde. I don't know when he wrote it but he died in 1900. The question is fairly poor if that's the right answer, but I can't think what else it could possibly be.

Also known as "The woman Covered in Jewels", you can find the text of this play, by the brilliant Oscar, at; http://www.theatrehistory.com/plays/lasainte.html, hope it's the one.
