Excerpt from Les Zigzags d'un Curieux: Causeries sur l'Art des Livres Et la Littérature d'Art
Lorsque la fée printanière nous vient désen cager, l'âme s'attendrit dans le panthéisme de la nature en éveil. La feuille imprimée se fait voir maladive, vaine et superficielle nos yeux baignés de lumière. Nous revenons aux sensation? Originelles et aux langueurs pares seuses; nous abjurons la bibliolâtrie des jours ciels moroses et nous aimons à planer comme l'alouette dans la lumiere en nous grisant de la sensation de vivre.
