THE regard which every one has for the old French provinces is by no means inexplicable. Out of them grew the present solidarity of republican France, but in spite of it the old limits of demarcation are not yet expunged. One and all retain to-day their individual characteristics, manners, and customs, and also a certain subconscious atmosphere. Many are the casual travellers who know Normandy and Brittany, at least know them by name and perhaps something more, but how many of those who annually skim across France, in summer to Switzerland and in winter to the Riviera or to Italy, there to live in seven-franca-day pensions, and drink a particularly vile brand of tea, know where Brittany leaves off and Normandy begins, or have more than the vaguest of vague notions as to whether the charming little provincial capital of Nantes, on the Loire, is in Brittany or in Poitou. A recollection of their school-day knowledge of history will help them on the latter point, but geography will come in and puzzle them still more. There are many French writers, and painters for that matter, who have made these provinces famous. Napoleon, perhaps, set the fashion, when he wrote, in 1786, that eulogy beginning: ¿It is now six or seven years since I left my native country.¿ More familiar is the ¿Native Land¿ of Lamartine. Camille Flammarion wrote ¿My Cradle,¿ meaning Champagne; Dumas wrote of Villers-Cotterets, and Chateaubriand and Renan of Brittany; but head and shoulders above them all stand out Frederic Mistral and his fellows of the Félibres at Avignon and Arles.

Campen ist toll, es ist für viele zu einer bevorzugten Freizeit- und sogar Lebensform geworden. Am schönsten ist es, mit dem Wohnmobil zu reisen. Aber wenn man dieses Buch gelesen ist, weiß man: am allerschönsten ist es zusammen mit zwei Französischen Bulldoggen namens Odin und Frieda. Die beiden berichten hier von Reisen durch Schleswig-Holstein und nach Schweden, wobei der herrlich skurrile Blick, den die beiden Vierbeiner auf die Menschen haben, belustigt und ihre Fähigkeit, ihre Umwelt mit allen Sinnen zu erkunden, das Campingerlebnis noch intensiver macht. Natürlich erfährt man auch viel von den bereisten Ländern. Also: Bullys an Bord und los geht's!

Les gémissements poétiques de ce siècle ne sont que des sophismes. Les premiers principes doivent être hors de discussion. J¿accepte Euripide et Sophocle ; mais je n¿accepte pas Eschyle. Ne faites pas preuve de manque des convenances les plus élémentaires et de mauvais goût envers le créateur. Repoussez l¿incrédulité : vous me ferez plaisir. Il n¿existe pas deux genres de poésies ; il n¿en est qüune. Il existe une convention peu tacite entre l¿auteur et le lecteur, par laquelle le premier s¿intitule malade, et accepte le second comme garde-malade. C¿est le poète qui console l¿humanité ! Les rôles sont intervertis arbitrairement. Je ne veux pas être flétri de la qualification de poseur. Je ne laisserai pas des Mémoires. La poésie n¿est pas la tempête, pas plus que le cyclone. C¿est un fleuve majestueux et fertile. Ce n¿est qüen admettant la nuit physiquement, qüon est parvenu à la faire passer moralement. Ô Nuits d¿Young ! vous m¿avez causé beaucoup de migraines !
