1838.
A prolific writer of both prose and verse. He has a rich gift of
style, but he appeals to his reader more often by the sensuous charm
of his lines than by their originality or depth.

Gloire du souvenir_, 1872; these three volumes are collected in

d'or_, 1880; _le Pays des roses_, 1882; _le Chemin des étoiles_, 1885:
