In the "Lettres de mon moulin" the writer is still in sympathy with his native land, while in the earliest of the "Tartarin" series, "Tartarin de Tarascon," there is already a spirit of disdainful raillery which Daudet learned in Paris. Tarascon was piqued when "Tartarin de Tarascon" appeared. Indeed, there is more than a little in the book that may well offend local pride.
A Frenchman is not offended as we are by the flippancy of this reference to one of the supreme moments of Christ's life. Cf. De Vigny's "Le Mont des Oliviers." 85 13 d'en face: 'in front of him'; cf. 90 20. 85 17 jusqu'aux pantoufles: made 'even the slippers' shake; of 81 25. 85 19 Seul: while all trembled, Tartarin 'alone' did not.
Outside the main current of the plot Daudet sketches one of the little dramas of humble life of which he was so fond: the story of Delobelle, an impoverished actor who lives for his art while his devoted wife and daughter Désirée patiently ply the needle to earn bread. Daudet up to this time had been recognized as the greatest of French short-story writers.
Ye shady groves, your verdant gloom display To shield your poet from the burning day; Calliope, awake the sacred lyre, While thy fair sisters fan the pleasing fire; The bow'rs, the gales, the variegated skies In all their pleasures in my bosom rise. See in the east th' illustrious king of day! His rising radiance drives the shades away; But Oh!

The mere fact, officially declared by M. Guizot, that the government, the Legislature and the people of France earnestly demand a revision of these engagements, while they profess at the same time an undiminished desire to attain the objects for which they were contracted, would afford to Her Majesty's government a sufficent reason for agreeing to the proposed enquiry.
SO HAROLD ENDS, IN GREECE, HIS PILGRIMAGE! There fitly ending, in that land renown'd, Whose mighty genius lives in Glory's page, He, on the Muses' consecrated ground, Sinking to rest, while his young brows are bound With their unfading wreath! To bands of mirth, No more in TEMPE let the pipe resound! HAROLD, I follow to thy place of birth The slow hearse and thy LAST sad PILGRIMAGE on earth.
Should you, my lord, while you peruse my song, Wonder from whence my love of Freedom sprung, Whence flow the wishes for the common good, By feeling hearts alone best understood, I, young in life, by seeming cruel fate Was snatch'd from Afric's fancy'd happy seat: What pangs excruciating must molest, What sorrows labor in my patents' breast?
