Said Robert: 'Then Alexandre Dumas doesn't write romances always ?' (You know it was like a sudden spectacle of one of Leda's eggs.) 'Indeed,' replied Jadin, 'he wrote the true history of his own travels, only, of course, seeing everything, like a poet, from his own point of view.' Alfred de Musset was to have been at M.Buloz's, where Robert was a week ago, on purpose to meet him, but he was prevented in some way.

His brother Paul de Musset, a very different person, was there instead--but we hope to have Alfred on another occasion.

Do you know his poems?
He is not capable of large grasps, but he has poet's life and blood in him, I assure you.

He is said to be at the feet of Rachel just now, and a man may nearly as well be with a tigress in a cage.

He began with the Princess Belgiojoso--followed George Sand--Rachel finishes, is likely to 'finish' in every sense.
