Excerpt from Life, Science and Art: Being Leaves From Ernest Hello

Ernest's childhood was passed on the old family estate of Keroman, near Lorient. Beyond the wooded farms, where the peasants spoke Breton, lay the desolate landes and the grey sea. He loved these soli tudes as a boy, and in manhood he returned to them to spend the best years of his life in strenuous literary work.

Hello was educated first at Rennes, then at the Lycée Louis 18 Grand, Paris. He studied for the Bar, but threw up his profession because his fellow-barristers decided in con ference that it was quite permissible to defend an unjust cause. He could not, he felt, bear to be connected with a body of men, the majority of whom held such an opinion.

Excerpt from Life, Science and Art: Being Leaves From Ernest Hello

Near the grave of the poet Brizeux, in the cemetery of the Breton town of Lorient, is a great stone cross bearing the simple inscription: Ernest Hello. Anyone passing that way some twenty years ago might have found on the grave, not only flowers, but a little stocking, a child's shoe - the grateful and touching ex-voto of some simple peasant who felt convinced that he whose prayers, affection, and money, had ever been at the service of the poor during his life, still cared for them, and thought of them, and prayed for them, in the silent world beyond. Nothing endures like love; and the memory of the scholar and man of genius, who was also so good a friend, lingered long about Keroman and Lorient.

Ernest Hello was born at Lorient in 1828.
