About the Book

" Les jeunes gens ont presque tous un compas avec lequel ils se plaisent à mesurer l'avenir; quand leur volonté s'accorde avec la hardiesse de l'angle qu'ils ouvrent, le monde est à eux. Mais ce phénomène de la vie morale n'a lieu qu'à un certain âge. Cet âge, qui pour tous les hommes se trouve entre vingt-deux et vingt-huit ans, est celui des grandes pensées, l'âge des conceptions premières, parce qu'il est l'âge des immenses désirs, l'âge où l'on ne doute de rien: qui dit doute, dit impuissance. Après cet âge rapide comme une semaison, vient celui de l'exécution. Il est en quelque sorte deux jeunesses, la jeunesse durant laquelle on croit, la jeunesse pendant laquelle on agit; souvent elles se confondent chez les hommes que la nature a favorisés, et qui sont, comme César, Newton et Bonaparte, les plus grands parmi les grands hommes. Je mesurais ce qu'une pensée veut de temps pour se développer; et, mon compas à la main, debout sur un rocher, à cent toises au-dessus de l'Océan, dont les lames se jouaient dans les brisants, j'arpentais mon avenir en le meublant d'ouvrages, comme un ingénieur qui, sur un terrain vide, trace des forteresses et des palais. La mer était belle, je venais de m'habiller après avoir nagé, j'attendais Pauline, mon ange gardien, qui se baignait dans une cuve de granit pleine d'un sable fin, la plus coquette baignoire que la nature ait dessinée pour ses fées marines. Nous étions à l'extrémité du Croisic, une mignonne presqu'île de la Bretagne; nous étions loin du port, dans un endroit que le Fisc a jugé tellement inabordable que le douanier n'y passe presque jamais. Nager dans les airs après avoir nagé dans la mer ! ah ! qui n'aurait nagé dans l'avenir ? Pourquoi pensais-je ? pour- quoi vient un mal ? qui le sait ? Les idées vous tombent au coeur ou à la tête sans vous consulter. Nulle courtisane ne fut plus fantasque ni plus impérieuse que ne l'est la Conception pour les artistes; il faut la prendre comme la Fortune, à pleins cheveux, qu
