Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III la Tristesse D'olympio IN the neighborhood of Paris, about four miles from Versailles, nestles a valley, which the modern devotees of romance should deem worthy of a visit. Not because it boasts of any special features such as mighty torrents thundering from giddy heights into abysmal chasms below?on the contrary?its character is harmonious and serene; it is more like a French park decked with flowers by nature, and watered by chance. But it was in these classic surroundings that about the year 1830, circumstances led the great men of the new school to seek temporary repose for their fretted souls. To us, these peaceful meadows, flanked by pensive willows weeping on the borders of the silent Bievre, must evermore be peopled by those troubled shades: by Lammenais, the priestly keeper of consciences; Montalembert, the angelic doctor; Ste. Beuve, the purveyor of ideas; Berlioz, the musician, and lastly by the poet, Victor Hugo, who followed meekly in the Love Letters of Juliette Drouet rear, while awaiting the glory of conducting the procession. They used to arrive in the summer, some for a couple of days, others for weeks together, to stay with Monsieur Bertin, editor of the Journal des Debats and owner of Les Roches,1 a property situated midway between the villages of Bievre and Jouy-en-Josas. Genial and lively, as Ingres represents him in his celebrated portrait, Monsieur Bertin loved to divine, promote, and where needful encourage, their vocations and plans. His housekeeping was on a modest scale, but his hospitality delightful?a mixture of go-as- you-please and kindly despotism; perfect freedom outwardly, but in reality, careful ministrations skillfully disguised. Louise Bertin, the eldest daughter of the old man and one of the muses of the period, wil...

Book Description
Excerpt from Juliette Drouet's Love-Letters to Victor Hugo: Edited With a Biography of Juliette Drouet A poet, a great poet, loves a princess of the theatre. He is jealous. He forces her to abandon the stage and the green-room, to relinquish the hollow flattery of society and the town he cloisters her with one servant, two or three of his portraits, and as many books, in an apartment a few yards square. When she complains of having nothing to do but wait jor him, he replies: Write to me. Write me every thing that comes into your head, everything that causes your heart to beat. Such is the origin of the letters of Juliette Drouet to Victor Hugo. They are not ordinary missives confided to the post and intended to assure a lover of the tender feelings of his mistress they are notes, mere scribbles, as Juliette herself calls them, thrown upon paper hour by hour, cast into a corner Without being read over, and secured by the lover at each of his visits, as so many trophies of passion.
