""J'ai été très sensible cher monsieur à votre bon français et à l'envoi du très sage et instructif volume qui en est la cause. Vous me rappelez en effet des temps déjà bien anciens mais que ce qui a fini n'a pu effacer de ma mémoire : car à vous parler vrai quoi qu'il y ait bien de l'espace et bien de l'intervalle d'aujourd'hui à ce temps-ci il me paraît souvent qu'il y a du vide : et le tourbillon de la vie littéraire dont vous me parlez je ne le ressens guère. Ce qui me frappe c'est plutôt le contraire du tourbillon c'est à dire l'isolement la disparition ou le peu de mouvement de groupe. On se survit et l'on traîne un peu : je parle du moins pour moi aussi n'en suis-je que plus sensible. . de bons témoignages comme le vôtre qui attestent que le passé n'est pas oublié et qu'il a réellement existé.

You remind me indeed of times already quite ancient but which what has ended could not erase from my memory: for to speak truly to you although there is much space and much interval from today to that time it often seems to me that there is emptiness: and the whirlwind of literary life of which you speak to me I hardly feel it. What strikes me is rather the contrary of the whirlwind that is to say isolation the disappearance or the little group movement. One survives oneself and drags on a little: I speak at least for myself so I am all the more sensitive. . to good testimonies like yours which attest that the past is not forgotten and that it really existed.

Negley 1551; Fortunati/Trousson 489f. <br><br>Paul et Virginie or Paul and Virginia is a novel by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre first published in 1788. The novel's title characters are very good friends since birth who fall in love. The story is set in the island of Mauritius under French rule then named Ile de France which the author had visited. Written on the eve of the French Revolution the novel is hailed as Bernardin's finest work. It records the fate of a child of nature corrupted by the false artificial sentimentality that prevailed at the time among the upper classes of France. <br><br> Saint-Pierre attacked the issues of divided social classes present in eighteenth century French society. In Paul et Virginie Saint-Pierre describes perfect equality occurring on Mauritius where inhabitants share the same possessions have equal amounts of land and all work to cultivate it. They live in harmony without violence or unrest. These beliefs of Saint-Pierre's echo those of Enlightenment philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau. <br> The book also presents an Enlightenment view of religion: that God or "Providence" had perfectly designed the world to be harmonious and pleasing.
