Extract

In one of the several accounts Théophile Gautier gave of the life and works of his friend Gérard de Nerval, he expatiated on the extraordinary modesty of the man. The tumult and turmoil of the age was destined to die down; the whisper of Nerval's voice has been echoed down the years, and has become sweet music. His poetical lineage has radiated in every direction, and constitutes the purest lyrical filiation of the century.
