The picture has since haunted my memory; the mind goes back to it in a strange way, and the sentiment of it, as it was communicated to me, I find perfectly expressed in these lines by Alphonse Karr: 'De la solitaire demeure Une ombre lourde d'heure en heure, Se détache sur le gazon, Et cet ombre, couchée et morte Est la seule chose qui sorte Tout le jour de cette maison.
«Lorsqu'on est au haut des égralets, on suite un pente beaucoup moins rapide; on marche tantôt sur du gazon, tantôt sur de grandes tables de granit, et on arrive ainsi au bord du plan du glacier du Taléfre. On nomme le plan d'un glacier la partie élevée et

This letter contains a strong proof of his mind's artistic evolution.
I sometimes have a passion for some of them that lasts as long as their existence, which only embraces a few days and nights.
