Extrait: "La brise d'été agite les pins géants, et les rides de la Wild-Water clapotent sur ses pierres moussues. Des papillons dansent au soleil, et de toutes parts frémit le bourdonnement berceur des abeilles. Seule au sein d'une paix si profonde, je suis assise, pensive et inquiète. L'excès même de cette sérénité me trouble et la rend irréelle."

"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not exist.
