Amiel is no doubt often guilty, as M. Caro puts it, of attempts "to write German in French," and there are in his thought itself veins of mysticism, elements of Schwaermerei, here and there, of which a good deal must be laid to the account of his German training. M. Renan regrets that after Geneva and after Berlin he never came to Paris. Possibly but how much we should have lost!
Then, as if momentarily abashed by his own extravagance of expression, he protests that his Schwaermerei, if such it be, is nothing but a 'joyful paroxysm anticipating our future greatness'. For his part, he would not 'exchange one such moment for the highest triumph of cold reason'. Enthusiasm, he declares, is the greatest thing in life.
