17 septembre 1863 : mort du poète et romancier Alfred de Vigny ➽ http://bit.ly/Alfred-Vigny Défenseur du faible et du vaincu, flétrissant la tyrannie, n’ayant jamais adoré le succès, le poète attacha son nom à la renaissance poétique qui signala les premières années de la Restauration, tandis que le prosateur écrivit des pages généreuses, élevées, et composa un chef-d’oeuvre

Very interesting quote from Gustave Flaubert about Napoleon and the Empire:

"When you observe life with a little attention, you see cedars as being a little less tall and bushes somewhat higher. All the same, I don't like the habit some people have of disparaging great enthusiasms or minimizing sublime impulses that surpass nature. Thus Vigny's book, Servitude et grandeur militaires, shocked me a little at first glance because I saw in it a systematic depreciation of blind devotion (the cult of the Emperor, for example), of man's fanaticism for man, in favor of the abstract, dry idea of duty, a concept I've never been able to grasp and which does not seem to me inherent in human entrails. What is noble in the Empire is adoration of the Emperor, a love that is exclusive, absurd, sublime, truly human. That is why I have little understanding of what la Patrie, the fatherland, is for us today."

Letter to Louise Colet, [Rouen], [December 11, 1846]

La citation de L'Escargue

[1] — mon pied infatigable est plus fort que l'espace  (c'est de Vigny) [2] — - - mais après, ça ne colle pas : — le fleuve aux grandes eaux se range quand je passe [3] —  comme quoi ces auteurs ne tiennent pas sur la longueur

Dopo aver riflettuto bene sul destino delle donne in tutti i tempi e in tutti i paesi, ho finito per convincermi che ogni uomo dovrebbe dire a ogni donna invece del buongiorno: “Perdonateci!” perché i più forti hanno fatto la legge.

- Alfred de Vigny, 1867

If, dumb, blind and deaf to the cry of created beings, Heaven abandoned us like an aborted world, the just man will confront absence with disdain and will reply only with cold silence to the eternal silence of the Divinity.

Le Silence, Alfred de Vigny (1797-1863)
