Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from French Essays and Profiles
His universe is, for the most part, glazed, poly chrome. Its dawns have metallic lip-s, its waves are emerald, its clouds are bronze, just as on sceneries of porcelain. Action, gayety, perfume, color, perspective and the manifold beauties of real life and the real world are to be looked for here as if on Sevres vases. And yet with all his patient toil on this rime and rhythm of enamel, you feel that he is, like Hugo, always magnificently out of doors and abroad in space. This is one of the two great features of his poetry on Nature. The other is that he makes the tropical sun burn intensely on his stanzas. The rays of Sol glint fiercely and gloriously on his chromatic wares.

Likewise, there may be found in his oriental verse types of women which resemble the Greek; and then there is his genuine.
