So Carey rode often to town and Tannis bided her time, and plotted futile schemes of revenge, and Lazarre Merimee scowled and got drunk and life went on at the Flats as usual, until the last week in October, when a big wind and rainstorm swept over the northland. It was a bad night. The wires were down between the Flats and Prince Albert and all communication with the outside world was cut off.
When Merimee left Nohant, he was destined never again to see George Sand, except long afterward at a dinner-party, where the two stared at each other sharply, but did not speak. This affair, however, made it plain that she could not long remain at Nohant, and that she pined for Paris.
However, it is hardly worth the while of the casual playgoer to study the structure of dramas sufficiently to appreciate fully such marvels of technique the marvels are very rare. Something might be said in favour of plays and it was said by Prosper Mérimée in which no knowledge of the previous histories of the parties is necessary.
De Vigny was a convinced Anglophile, well acquainted with the writings of Shakespeare and Milton, Byron, Wordsworth, Shelley, Matthew Arnold, and Leopardi. He also married an English lady in 1825 Lydia Bunbury. Other prose works are 'Stello' , in the manner of Sterne and Diderot, and 'Servitude et Grandeur militaire' , the language of which is as caustic as that of Merimee.
In his charming romance, "Colomba," M. Prosper Mérimée has depicted the typical Corsican, even of the towns, as preoccupied, gloomy, suspicious, ever on the alert, hovering about his dwelling, like a falcon over his nest, seemingly in preparation for attack or defence.
Morny was in the great secrets, Mérimée in the small ones. Commissions of gallantry formed his vocation. The familiars of the Elysée were of two kinds, the trustworthy confederates and the courtiers. The first of the trustworthy confederates was Morny; the first or the last of the courtiers was Mérimée. This is what made the fortune of M. Mérimée.
Then "M. le Professeur Docteur Arnold, Directeur Général de toutes les Écoles de la Grande Bretagne," returned to France for a time, saw Mérimée and George Sand and Renan, as well as a good deal of Sainte-Beuve, and was back again for good in the foolish old country at the end of the month.
I found her alone ah, people scatter quickly under such circumstances! alone, with a senator, M. Mérimée, the only literary man I have ever known who was at the same time a man of the world. 'Madame, he was saying to her, 'you must give up all hope. M. Thiers, whom I just met on the Pont Royal, would listen to nothing.
When Merimee left Nohant, he was destined never again to see George Sand, except long afterward at a dinner-party, where the two stared at each other sharply, but did not speak. This affair, however, made it plain that she could not long remain at Nohant, and that she pined for Paris.
Their meetings were entirely taken up with intellectual discussions, or the reading of a new production, or in walks which have been commemorated by Mérimée and Sainte-Beuve, when they carried their romanticism to the towers of Notre Dame to see the sun set or the moon rise over Paris. Stimulated by this companionship, Alfred de Musset began to compose.
