I was extremely ignorant, and he wished me to profit by our temporary separation to raise my knowledge to a level with my new social position. He had, accordingly, made arrangements for me to enter the convent of Sainte-Marthe, an educational establishment which is as celebrated in the department of the Rhone as the Convent des Oiseaux is in Paris.
"Ici bas tous les lilas meurent; Tous les chants des oiseaux sont courts; Je cherche aux étés qui demeurent Toujours." And now of the influences which shaped that quest of "the highest things."
