Author Description

Excerpt from Contes Et Nouvelles: Les Méandres Mais y aura-til encore longtemps des moeurs villageoi ses dans les villages, des usages rustiques aux champs? Hélas! J'ai peur de repondre. La civilisation suit les cours d'eau comme le choléra; l'industrie grimpe aux arbres; le gazon s'écarte déjà pour laisser un passage aux che mins de fer.
