Excerpt from Odes Et Ballades
Le livre est ce que l'auteur l'a fait. Il est histoire, philosophie, épopée; il appartient aux hautes régions de l'art; il demeure dans les régions basses; il est ce qu'il est; c'est sans qu'il s'en mèle, c'est à son insu, que se dresse fatalement à côté de lui cette ombre qu'il jette, la figure de l'auteur.
