Seite 95 - Fleur d'Agathon, où les noms et les choses étaient de pure invention, aussi bien qu'en la comédie ; mais les grands sujets qui remuent fortement les passions et en opposent l'impétuosité aux lois du devoir ou aux tendresses du sang, doivent toujours aller audelà du vraisemblable...

Seite 28 - A des refrains réglés asservit les rondeaux Et montra pour rimer des chemins tout nouveaux. Ronsard, qui le suivit, par une autre méthode, Réglant tout, brouilla tout, fit un art à sa mode, Et toutefois longtemps eut un heureux destin.
