Les Devil's Sons sont plus unis que jamais, pourtant, la vie semble vouloir les mettre à genoux. Ils surmontent les obstacles les uns après les autres, trop nombreux pour que ce soit une simple coïncidence. Si les Devil's Sons ont donné un sens à mon existence, Clarke, lui, a offert à mon cœur une raison de battre. L'amour est la plus puissante source de bonheur, sauf qu'il peut aussi s'avérer extrêmement dévastateur. On dit qu'un malheur n'arrive jamais seul, mais qu'en est-il de l'accalmie ? Je commence à croire que nous sommes destinés au chaos.

Each quotation stands alone yet contributes to a larger portrait of Wilde’s worldview—one that prizes individuality, intellectual courage, and the art of living well.

Dans ce premier tome des Portraits littéraires, Sainte-Beuve, maître de la critique au XIXe siècle, compose une galerie d’écrivains où se croisent tempéraments, œuvres et époques. Ses portraits, à la fois biographiques et analytiques, replacent chaque auteur dans son milieu, ses lectures, ses combats, pour faire surgir une présence vivante derrière les textes. Avec une prose souple, une ironie feutrée et un sens aigu des nuances, il jauge les styles, dissipe les légendes et éclaire les filiations secrètes.

An important and often-quoted literary figure, the English poet Christina Rossetti (1830–1894) wrote some of the most beautiful and voluptuous poetry in the English language.

O donna mia, già tace ogni sentiero, e pei balconi rara traluce la notturna lampa: Tu dormi, che t’accolse agevol sonno nelle tue chete stanze; e non ti morde cura nessuna; e già non sai nè pensi quanta piaga m’apristi in mezzo al petto. Tu dormi: io questo ciel, che sì benigno appare in vista, a salutar m’affaccio, e l’antica natura onnipossente, che mi fece all’affanno.
