Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from About Paris
If you judged it by the circumstance that we all spent Our time in hanging out Of the windows, and that the concierge of each house stood con tinually at the front door, you would suppose it to be a most interesting thoroughfare, in which things were always happening. What did hap pen was not interesting to the outsider, and you had to live in it some time before you could ap preciate the true value Of the street. With one exception. This was the great distinction of our street, and one Of which we were very proud. A poet had lived in his way, and loved in his way, in one Of the houses, and had died there. You could read the simple, unromantic record Of this in big black letters on a tablet placed evenly between the two windows Of the entresol. It gave a distinguished air to that house, and ren dered it different from all Of the others, as a Legion Of Honor on the breast Of a French 501 dier makes him conspicuous amongst his fellows.
