Excerpt from Discours de Réception de M. Ferdinand Brunetière, Et, Réponse de M. Le Compte d'Haussonville, Directeur de l'Académie
Vous représentez, en effet, Messieurs, le pouvoir de l'esprit; vous êtes la tradition littéraire vivante et si la langue, la littera ture, les chefs - d oeuvre de la prose et de la poésie d'un grand peuple expriment peut être ce que son génie national a de plus intérieur et de plus universel à la fois, c'est vous qui, depuis plus de deux siècles pas sés, en ayant reçu le dépôt, l'avez, de Corneille à Racine, de Bossuet à Voltaire, de Chateaubriand a Hugo, religieusement conservé, transmis, et enrichi. Le Français qui le dit n'apprend rien a l'étranger: je serais heureux qu'il le' rappelât à quelques Français qui l'ont trop oublié.
