Légende

Lamartine, 1844. Poet of French author, poet, and politician Alphonse de Lamartine. 'The fall of the empire and the restoration had a considerable change in the destiny of the poet. Nurtured in sentiments and opinions wholly opposed to the revolution, he had never acknowledged the sway of Napoleon. It was to him but the rule of brute force, of numbers, and of the sword...Lamartine lives in that street of splendid houses, the rue de l'Université, where he occupies a spacious hotel and keeps the establishment of a noble, indulging his refined taste for luxury and elegance, and his love of horses, which is so perceptible in his eastern voyage. He will walk to the Chamber in spurs, and...will gallop off to the Bois...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
