There are better artists in France, but France has no one whose view of life is so large, so varied, so imaginatively true. There are tellers of stories in Russia who have a more vivid sense of what pain in fiction may be. Page 112 THE ORDEAL OF RICHARD FEVEREL. EVAN HARRINGTON. SANDRA BELLONI. VITTORIA. RHODA FLEMING.

Page 112 Et mes pieds offensés que Madeleine baigne De larmes, et mes bras douloureux sous le poids De tes péchés, et mes mains! Et tu vois la croix, Tu vois les clous, le fiel, l'éponge, et tout t'enseigne A n'aimer, en ce monde amer où la chair règne, Que ma Chair et mon Sang, ma parole et ma voix. Page 10 Mon fils, il faut m'aimer. Tu vois Mon flanc percé, mon cœur qui rayonne et qui saigne, Et mes pieds offensés que Madeleine baigne De larmes, et mes bras douloureux sous le poids De tes péchés, et mes mains ! Et tu vois la croix... Page 10 Hommes durs ! Vie atroce et laide d'ici-bas ! Ah ! que du moins, loin des baisers et des combats, Quelque chose demeure un peu sur la montagne, Quelque chose du cœur enfantin et subtil, Bonté, respect ! Car qu'est-ce qui nous accompagne, Et vraiment, quand la mort viendra, que reste-t-il... Page 62 I was opposite an open door, absolutely dark, leading down by oblique stairs, to a cellar. As I idly watched this square of blackness, I suddenly saw some ghostly shape fluttering at the bottom of it. It took the form of a strange bald head, bobbing close to the ground. Although it was so dim and vague, an idea crossed my mind. Not daring to speak, I touched Moreas, and so drew his attention to it. "Pas un mot, pas un geste, Monsieur! Page 67 Moreas re-appeared, triumphant; behind him something flopped up out of the darkness like an owl, — a timid shambling figure in a soft black hat, with jerking hands, and it peeped with intention to disappear again. But there were cries of "Venez done, Maitre," and by-and-by Verlaine was persuaded to emerge definitely and to sit by me.

Tout suffocant Et blême, quand Sonne l'heure, Je me souviens Des jours anciens Et je pleure ; Et je m'en vais Au vent mauvais Qui m'emporte Deçà, delà, Pareil à la Feuille morte. Page 44 O pâlis, et va-t'en, lente et joignant les mains. Si ces hiers allaient manger nos beaux demains ? Si la vieille folie était encore en route? Ces souvenirs, va-t-il falloir les retuer ? Un assaut furieux, le suprême sans doute ! O, va prier contre l'orage, va prier. Page 37 Other editions
