Alphonse de LAMARTINE (1790.1869)

Signed autograph poem.

An oblong octavo page. Slnd.

Superb verses taken from his work Jocelyn, published in 1836.

Beauty, secret from above, ray, divine emblem,

Who knows where you come from? who knows why we love you,

Why the eye pursues you, why the loving heart

Rushes to you like iron to a magnet,

 

Who knows if you are not in fact some image

From God himself, who pierces through this cloud?
