Discours de Réception à l'Académie Française: Le 16 Juin 1921 (Classic Reprint) (French Edition) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Discours de Réception à l'Académie Française: Le 16 Juin 1921
Mon ami, ne parlez pas de moi. Laissez - moi suivre le gré de mon caprice, qui est de regarder la vie, d'en goûter avec bonne humeur jusqu'aux amertumes, et de la transporter bien vite dans le domaine de la fantaisie. Les hommes y sont plus agréables à contempler. La fantaisie n'est - elle point la forme la plus charmante de l'indulgence? Pour moi, je ne veux pas d'autre délectation. Vous savez bien qu'en mêlant vos platanes du boulevard a mes châtaigniers du Périgord, nous avons fait un petit bois où la lumière du jour nous fut bien faisante, et qu'en relisant à son ombre les livres que nous préférions ensemble, au bord d'une petite rivière qui ne cherche pas à arriver, j'ai connu des joies a côté desquelles toutes les autres ne sont que vanité.
