You may well take them from me, since it was you that gave them to me." No doubt, she had read De Musset, and this action was perhaps a refection of that of Marion, but the movement was sincere.
There are fine things in Balzac and passages in Merimee which strike one like a keen blast of sea air. Alfred de Musset is impossible! I admire Victor Hugo I appreciate his genius, his brilliancy, his romanticism; though he is not one of my literary passions.
De Musset, at this time, would have given the world to have been able to make her his wife. Yet that he acquired an empire over her no other ever acquired there is much to indicate. It took her from France for a while, from her children, her friends and the breaking of the spell set her at war, not only with him, but for a while with herself, with life, and her fellow creatures.
It was small, and her mother, as Musset would say, seemed to have made it so in order to make it with care.

His "Chandelier" having met with success, Rachel applied to De Musset for a play.
It is a subject to paint, which has never been well treated; the passionate friendships of a Tattet for a Musset, of an Eckermann for a Goethe, of an Asselineau for a Beaudelaire, the total absorption of the admirer in the admired. Florent found that the genius of the great painter had need of a fortune, and he gave him his sister.
I find myself that, for character sketching, next to studying people from life, the best thing is to carefully go through the writings of such people as Alfred de Musset, whose little caprices are so delicate. I think that the best Society novelists at present, who write with a real knowledge of the people they are describing, are W. E. Norris, Julian Sturgis, and Rhoda Broughton."
De Musset returned alone, sick in body and soul, and thenceforth absinthe was his constant solace.
