  Bohemian Lives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
As Houssaye commented, "Inspiration is a goddess who keeps early hours." Sometimes they would try to help inspiration along with opium or hashish, but usually cigars or cigarettes served well enough.
The way in which Houssaye described a typical working day is now a classic image of bohemia: several men crowded into one room, laboring over what he hoped would be a future masterpiece.
Houssaye describes these sessions as being joyful and happy, for he was doing what he loved with people he considered dear friends.

 A Few French Celebrities, article from 1873 Harper's New Monthly Magazine
Feuillet has a calm, fine, strong face, was decidedly handsome in his youth, and his manners and address are reposeful and attractive.
One of the most elegant and entertaining of contemporaneous French authors is Arsène Houssaye, sprung from an ancient line of agriculturists, and allied by blood to the famous Condorcet.
Houssaye, now in his fifty-eighth year, is actively engaged upon several novels, the scenes and characters taken from the great but brief war which so bitterly humiliated the pride of France.

Charming, sweet and strikingly intelligent, Jane captured the attention of Houssaye who gladly employed her as a secretary in his office.
Of course, being a noblewoman, an aristocrat with the title of Marquise (never mind, she was poor), helped her to approach well to do people and gave her confidence to converse with them.

 Double Room: An Introduction From the Editors
Taking inspiration from Baudelaire's prose poem Le Chambre Double, published in Paris Spleen in 1869, Double Room, as the title suggests, is a new literary publication devoted to exploring prose poetry and flash fiction.
"Who among us, in his ambitious days, hasn't dreamed of the miracle of a poetic prose?" asked Baudelaire in a correspondence with Arsène Houssaye, opening-up, what we think is an intriguing and complex conversation between poetry and prose, fiction writers and poets.
By launching Double Room, we hope to enter and enter others into this conversation.

For a long period he was in particular favour with the critic Denis Diderot, who wrote about him in the Salon reviews that he published in Melchior Grimm’s privately circulated Correspondance littéraire.
His reputation declined towards the end of his life and through the early part of the 19th century, to be revived after 1850, when 18th-century painting returned to favour, by such critics as Théophile Thoré, Arsène Houssaye and, most notably, Edmond and Jules de Goncourt in their book L’Art du dix-huitième siècle.
By the end of the century Greuze’s work, especially his many variations on the Head of a Girl, fetched record prices, and his Broken Pitcher (Paris, Louvre) was one of the most popular paintings in the Louvre.

 The Spirit of Bohemia - General Overview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The would-be writer in his garret in the Latin Quarter, the perpetual student on the Left Bank, the misfit with artistic pretentions, the noctambulist, the dandy on the fringe of cultural life: all of them are naturalised Bohemians.
The first Bohemians were the young Romantics in the Impasse du Doyenne in the early 1830s; and Arsene Houssaye, who was one of them, declared that there would never be a last as long as there were poets living in Paris.
Henry Murger himself, the author of 'La Vie de Boheme', said that the real Bohemian could exist only in Paris; and the observation was true.

 Telling stories in Baudelaire's Spleen de Paris.(Critical Essay) - Articles, News, and Journals
Indeed, all but a handful of the collection's fifty prose poems read as stories or anecdotes, told or retold in the first person by the narrator/ flaneur.
Yet in his dedication letter to Arsene Houssaye, Baudelaire expressed disdain for such narrative features as the "interminable thread of superfluous plot:"
Nous pouvons couper ora nous voulons, moi ma reverie, vous le manuscrit, le lecteur sa lecture; car je ne suspends pas la volonte retive de celui-ci au fil interminable d'une intrigue superflue.

 Defined by Our Love for God - Deut. 6:4,5
In any person's life, the objects of that person's love make some kind of comment as to his or her character.
As Arsene Houssaye said, "Tell me whom you love, and I will tell you what you are." But if this holds true in general, it is also true with respect to God.
In assessing the quality of our character, all anyone ever needs to know is the answer to this question: how deep is our love for our Creator?

 AS/SA Nº 8, p.449; Sicher: "The Semiotics of Hunger"
Vous-même, mon cher ami, n'avez-vous pas tenté de traduire en une chanson le cri strident du Vitrier, et d'exprimer dans une prose lyrique toutes les désolantes suggestions que ce cri envoie jusqu'aux mansardes à travers les plus hautes brumes de la rue?
In the dedication to Arsene Houssaye of Spleen de Paris, Baudelaire asks how a poetic prose could capture the spirit of the modern city, that is of modernity itself.
The obsessive desire for such an ideal is born out of the "crossing of innumerable relations" in the city.
