Présentation de l'éditeur
The Two Cottages. ON the verge of the department of A isne, to the east of the little city of Villers Cotterets, lost in the edge of that magnificent forest which covers twenty square leagues, shaded by the most magnificent beeches and most robust oaks of all France, is the little village of Haramont, a perfect nest amid the moss and leaves, the principal street of which ascends by gentle declivity to the chateau des Fosses, in which the first years of my childhood were passed. As we advance in life, and in reality separate ourselves from the cradle and draw near to the tomb, invisible threads which attach man to the place of his birth become stronger and more tenacious. The reason is, that the heart, mind and intelligence, the whole being in fact, reacts on the spectre we call Time, which ever forces us forward with a stronger hand and more sensible impulse, as if our life were an inclined plane, and as if obedient to the laws of gravity it passed more rapidly towards the end, than at the beginning. Then man returns in sorrow, and cries and clinss to all that he weeps with ;and as every thing he sees has the same proclivity, borne by the same torrent, he feels that resistance is vain and desperate.
