Happy is he who can follow him there.
Among the things we heard at that time and which we never hear now I must note especially Berlioz's _Corsaire_ and _King Lear_.

His name is so much beloved by the present day public that this neglect is both unjust and unjustifiable.

The great man himself came to the Societe St.
Cecile one day to conduct his _L'Enfance du Christ_ which he had just written--or rather _La Fuite en Egypt_ which was the only part of the work that was in existence then.

He composed the rest of it afterwards.
I remember perfectly the performances which the great man directed.

They were lively and spirited rather than careful, but somewhat slower than what Edouard Colonne has accustomed us to.
