There was in him something of the Parisian Street gamin and something of the Oriental woman." These simple poems are charming in their freshness and naïveté, and established Daudet's reputation as a writer of light verse. The whole volume, and especially "Les Prunes," attracted the attention of the Empress Eugénie.
The war awakened in our sensitive poet a seriousness of purpose which harmonized but little with his native genius. Among his friends he never lost his old-time buoyant gaiety; but his works from now on show only a trace of it. The charming "Belle-Nivernaise" , a few "tarasconades," a gleam here and there in all his works, remind us of our old friend and plead for our sympathy with the new.
It is in those works which are directly inspired by his native land of dreams that he is most completely himself, and therefore most charming. It is here that he discloses his kinship with Musset. With all the delicacy of Musset and at the same time a saneness which Musset did not always possess, what might he not have accomplished if he had only continued as he began?
No more the flo'wry scenes of pleasure rise, Nor charming prospects greet the mental eyes, No more with joy we view that lovely face Smiling, disportive, flush'd with ev'ry grace. The tear of forrow flows from ev'ry eye, Groans answer groans, and sighs to sighs reply; What sudden pangs shot thro' each aching heart, When, Death, thy messenger dispatch'd his dart?
Oui, mère... Comment dit-on en anglais joli... pour un homme? Pourquoi? C'est dans mon thème... pour un homme beau, joli, distingué? Handsome, nice, charming, dit la mère. Eh bien, mère, ce gentleman notre voisin est tout
