Excerpt from Bernardin de Saint-Pierre
Quant au jeune Henri, dit son biographe, qui le connaissait bien, il réunissait à lui seul les qualités et les défauts de ses deux frères, la vanité de sa soeur, et une imagination brillante qui envi ronna d'illusions toutes les époques de sa vie. Dès sa plus tendre jeunesse, ses lectures le jetèrent dans les rêveries d'un monde idéal où il se créa une existence et des habitudes solitaires.
