Résumé

Excerpt from Memoirs of Madame Desbordes-Valmore This informal but most tender sketch of a gifted woman, little known among us, is also affecting as a memorial of the lamented biographer. I think there must be many who feel with me, that when the refined spirit of M. Sainte-Beuve passed away from this world, his loss fell with especial heaviness upon the woman in it. For he, and I had almost said he alone, did them and their work that perfect justice which neither extenuates nor sets down in malice; neither exaggerates the actual nor requires the impossible.
