Bernardin de Saint Pierre has the very excellent and pertinent remark that to be sparing in regard to food is a means of health; in regard to society, a means of tranquillity la diète des ailmens nous rend la santé du corps, et celle des hommes la tranquillité de l'âme.
Si je croyais a l'immortalite de l'ame, je regarderais avec effroi la possibilite d'etre au ciel pendant que tu resterais sur la terre. Je crois que ma maladie est due principalement a la tristesse et je tache de lutter la-contre. Je vais faire quelques eaux-fortes et aquarelles dans mes moments de loisir pour m'empecher, autant que possible, de penser a ma solitude.
Among the eminent Jesuit authors was Pierre Marie, who was born at Rouen, 1589, and died at Bourges, 1645. He was author of "La Sainte Solitude; ou les Entretiens solitaires de l'ame," and of "La Science du Crucifix: en forme de méditations." The family was divided by the Huguenot movement, and a Protestant branch took root in England.
She was always bored; and her later letters are a series of variations on the perpetual theme of 'ennui. 'C'est une maladie de l'âme, she says, 'dont nous afflige la nature en nous donnant l'existence; c'est le ver solitaire qui absorbe tout. And again, 'l'ennui est l'avant-goût du néant, mais le néant lui est préférable. Her existence had become a hateful waste a garden, she said, from which all the flowers had been uprooted and which had been sown with salt.
What tortures of mind and soul, and all that we may die in a few minutes! What should interest us, and why? "Le temps n'est rien pour l'ame, enfant, ta vie est pleine, Et ce jour vaut cent ans, s'il te fait trouver Dieu." To make an object for myself, to hope, to struggle, seems to me more and more impossible and amazing.
I seated myself at the piano and commenced with one of Schumann's songs, and then I sang "Ma Mere etait Bohemienne," of Masse, which had a great success, and at the refrain, "Et moi! j'ai l'ame triste," there was not a dry eye in the little circle. Then he retired in a corner and wiped his eyes.
He approached it in the spirit of an artist, as an aesthete, not as a philosopher, and so far as he proved anything he proved that Christianity is valuable because it is beautiful, not because it is true. He aimed at showing that it can "enchanter l'ame aussi divinement que les dieux de Virgile et d'Homere."
"Les grands Dieux savent seuls si l'ame est immortelle, Mais le juste travaille a leur oeuvre eternelle." My birthplace. My father and mother. Circumstances of their marriage. Their short married life. Birth of their child. Death of my mother. Her character and habits. My father as a widower. Dulness of his life. Its degradation.
"And yet," said I, preserving my gravity with a pertinacity, which nearly made Vincent and the rest of our compatriots assembled lose their's "Madame must allow, that there is a striking resemblance in their persons, and the sublimity of their acting?" "Pour ca, j'en conviens," replied this 'critique de l'Ecole des Femmes. "Mais cependant Liseton n'a pas la Nature! l'ame! la grandeur de Talma!"
Her little hand crept to her breast and clutched a rosary within the folds of her dress, as her soft voice again arose, low but appealingly: "Vous souffrez! Ah, mon Dieu! Peuton vous secourir? Moi-meme mes prieres pourraient elles interceder pour vous? Je supplierai le ciel de prendre en pitie l'ame de mon ancetre. Monsieur le Cure est la, je lui parlerai. Lui et ma mere vous viendront en aide."
