Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Voyage en Espagne
Similarly in his art - criticisms, he does not analyze or explain the picture or statue, but transposes it, so to say, as a symphony may be transposed for the piano, reproducing marvellously in words the dominant features of the object, drawing a pen-?cture. It is in this that, with an immense vocabulary and an absolute command of all the resources of the French language, he is inimitable. Le mot says Ste. Beuve, n'est plus francais, depuis que ce nouveau maitre en fait de vocabulaire a su tout dire Car vous noterez encore que ce qui parait un tour de force n'en est pas un pour lui: on croirait que ce style savant et dont chaque mot a sa valeur de ton est des plus travailles il est improvise et facile; il coule de source.
