Quelques êtres privilégiés que Dieu a aimés davantage sont seuls parvenus à jouir par intervalles, dans des extases sublimes, presque du même équilibre, des deux parties qui nous composent, qu'adam dans le paradis Voilà donc l'oeuvre de Jésus Christ: il a voulu nous rétablir dans notre premier etat, et, pour y par venir, il nous a obligé à combattre la partie inférieure de notre être, la chair et ses pas sions.

Adrien Rouquette was born in New Orleans, a younger brother of François-Dominique Rouquette, and the son of Dominique and Louise (Cousin) Rouquette. When he was five, his father died.
When he was eight, he was sent to the College d'Orleans, but he frequently ran away to live with the Choctaw Indians in the back parishes. Later, to overcome his truancy and to perfect his neglected English, his mother sent him to Transylvania University in Kentucky. After her death, when he was sixteen, his guardian shipped him off to Paris, where he matriculated at the College Royal, but later went to the College Royal at Nantes, and finally graduated (1833) from the College of Rennes in Brittany. Later he studied law at Paris.
Rouquette had always been moody, introspective, vacillating, a romantic dreamer and psychologically maladjusted, and upon his return to Louisiana he soon drifted back into a life with the Indians on Bayou Lacombe. Tradition says he fell in love with a beautiful Indian maiden, Oushola (the bird singer), and that grief over her sudden demise so prostrated him that he left the country. He went back to Paris for his law studies. Fantastically unfitted for so practical a profession, he soon neglected his studies and divided his time between student dissipations and the courts, where he listened enthralled to the oratory of the great French avocats.
At last, when overcome by homesickness and dissatisfaction with his futile mode of living, he was so impressed by the Lenten lectures of an eloquent ecclesiast, Father de Ravignan, that he collected a small library on church history and returned to New Orleans in 1836, intending to study.
Soon, however, he left the city and went back to the Indians in St. Tammany Parish. He continued to lead this rudderless life, writing occasional poetry for his own amusement, until, encouraged by the success in France of a small volume of verse by his brother Dominique, he sailed for Paris and published Les Savanes (1841), a collection of his own poems. It was enthusiastically received by French poets and critics, Brizeux, Barthelemy, Deschamps, and even Sainte-Beuve; while in England Thomas Moore hailed him as "the Lamartine of America. "
Despite this praise, he returned to New Orleans again, only to find it as hard as ever to adjust himself to his surroundings. In this restless mood he was easily persuaded by Abbe Perche that the church could afford him a refuge from his "mal de siecle. " He began his studies with avidity and in 1846 took holy orders. Almost immediately he sprang into fame as an orator by reason of the eloquent sermons he preached in the St. Louis Cathedral of New Orleans, but his new duties complicated his life and he longed for solitude, pouring out his desire in a rambling, mystical book, La Thebaede en Amerique, ou Apologie de la Vie solitaire et contemplative (1852). He had previously published in English, Wild Flowers: Sacred Poetry (1848).
During the late 1850's he preached a series of antislavery sermons which made him many powerful enemies. This was the last straw which made unbearable the burden of adjusting himself to life in a city, so he asked permission to devote himself to ministering to the Indians. He joined the Choctaws, whose entire confidence he won, and was christened by them "Chahta-Ima" (Choctaw-like). In time he built several small, crude wooden chapels in St. Tammany Parish. He still gave a great deal of time to writing, continued to contribute to Le Propagateur Catholique, and in 1860 brought out a long volume of mystical verse, L'Antoniade, ou la Solitude avec Dieu, in which he contended that all the accomplishments of genius were born of poverty and solitude.
During the Civil War the Indians took refuge in the deepest swamps and the Abbe kept them alive by bringing them food and quinine, through the Northern lines, in pirogues. Some years later, inspired by Cheteaubriand, he published La Nouvelle Atala (1879), an account of the spiritual adventures of a preposterously idealized Indian maiden. Toward the end of his life he viciously attacked George W. Cable, who had aroused the intense resentment of the Creoles by his books. Rouquette called his diatribe Critical Dialogue between Aboo and Caboo (1880), signed it with the pseudonym "E. Junius, " and included a "poem" in the Creole dialect making charges against Cable that were both untrue and vulgar. It was a sign of his declining powers; in 1885, while at work upon a dictionary of the Choctaw language, he lost his reason and was taken to the H"tel-Dieu in New Orleans, where he died, the last of the "Black robe" fathers, on July 15, 1887.
