Excerpt from Fleurs du Midi: Poésies Ces chants ont été composés dans un désert de la Provence triste en hiver comme un steppe de la Pologne, et dévoré en été par un soleil d'a frique et par le mistral, assez semblable au si moun. Là, l'imagination ne pouvant se répandre au dehors pour admirer, est condamnée à cher cher nu aliment dans les émotions de l'âme dans la pensée. Peut - être ces vers auraient-ils dû mourir où ils étaient nés, dans cette solitude où je n'étais entendue ni comprise; mais quelques poètes les ont écoutés, quelques amis les ont applaudis, et je les livre au public, sans espérer qu'il les lise.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Louise Colet was born at Aix of a Provencal family named Revoil, on the 15th of September 1810.
In 1836 Louise Colet appeared her Fleurs du Midi, a volume of verse, of liberal tendency, followed by Penserosa (1839), a second volume of verse; by La Jeunesse de Goethe (1839), a one-act comedy; by Les Cceurs bris&s (1843), a novel; Les Funerailles de Napoleon (1840), a poem, and La Jeunesse de Mirabeau (1841), a novel.
The criticisms on her books and on the prizes conferred on her by the Academy exasperated her; and in 1841 Paris was diverted by her attempted reprisals on Alphonse Karr for certain notices in Les Guipes.
In 1849 she had to defend an action brought against her by the heirs of Madame Recamier, whose correspondence with Benjamin Constant she had published in the columns of the Presse.
She produced a host of writings in prose and verse, but she is perhaps best known for her intimate connexion with some of her famous contemporaries, Abel Villemain, Gustave Flaubert and Victor Cousin.
Only one of her books is now of interest-Lui: roman contemporain (1859), the novel in which she told the story of her life.
