The following letter will show how much he had impressed the former, brief as their communications had been: Alessandro Manzoni to J. R. Hope, Esq. Milan: 8 Mai, 1845. Monsieur et respectable ami, Je profite de l'occasion que me presente mon ancien et intime ami, M. le Baron Trechi, pour me rappeler a votre bon souvenir....
Here by her own fire she still had for her friends a smile less electric than the one she flashed from stages. She could still be, in short, intime, a quality which few artists keep, which few ever had. Kitty broke in on her friend's meditations. "You may smoke. I had rather you did. I hate to deprive people of things they like." "No, thanks. May I have those chocolates on the tea-table?
Il s'est mepris aussi sur les caractères de la méthode scolastique de connaître la constitution intime du monde experimental; il croît cette méthode exclusivement deductive." We have felt that candour demanded that we should quote the foregoing passage coming as it does from a source exceptionally well qualified to express an opinion.
If religious self-examination has its dangers, so also has philosophical self-analysis for its own sake. It is a fascinating study for those who care for thought for thought's sake the so-called Hamlets of the world, who are for ever revolving round the axes of their own ideas and dreams, and who never progress towards any clear issue. Amiel's "Vie Intime" is a study of this kind.
What are the reasons for this striking transformation of a man's position a transformation which, as M. Scherer says, will rank among the curiosities of literary history? In other words, what has given the "Journal Intime" its sudden and unexpected success?
Werdet, for a number of years his publisher and friend, relates in his Portrait Intime that Balzac, while still in the Lesdiguieres Street garret, had gone one day to Alphonse Levavasseur and offered, in return for a royalty and a cash installment of two hundred francs, to supply him with a book to be entitled: Manual of the Business Man, by a former Notary's Clerk.

The studio was lit up with electric light. "There's too much light," she said. "Don't move. I'll do it." She went over to the door, and turned out two burners, leaving only one alight. "Isn't that ever so much better?" she said, coming to sit down near Claude. "Well, perhaps it is." "Cosier, more intime." She sat down with a little sigh. "I'm going to have a cigarette."
Je dis nous, car Madame Austin etait pour moi une vraie et intime amie. Je l'ai connue dans mes joies et mes tristesses, dans mes succes et mes revers. Je l'ai trouvee toujours la meme, la meme elevation d'esprit, le meme coeur sympathique et devoue.
The French have made a phrase for his kind of work, paysage intime meaning the beloved country the one best known. It is a fine phrase, and it was first used to describe Rousseau's and Corot's work; but it especially applies to Hobbema's. While this artist was not yet recognised, his uncle van Ruisdael was known as a great artist.
