Madame De Sevigne (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Madame De Sevigne
It has seemed the best and simplest plan to endeavour in this little book to tell her story in her own words, SO far as may be possible but how impossible it is to trans late her words One might as well try to translate into English the pleasant murmur Of a brook on a summer day, or the song Of a bird in the air.
I have attempted no elaborate criticism of her style1 and manner of saying the ever new, ever delightful things which occur to her day by day; the tender, witty, laughable (rather than humorous) things and fancies or again, Of the Vivid and great suggestions that fill her heart and mind, and ours, as we read. Her art is too complete for criticism, too simple for analysis she has almost everything to say, and she says it.
