Alphonse Marie Louis de Prat de Lamartine - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | Lamartine was in Switzerland, not in Paris, at the time of the Revolution of July, and, though he, put forth a pamphlet on "Rational Policy," he did not at that crisis take any active part in politics, refusing, however, to continue his diplomatic services under the new government. |
| | Lamartine had the advantage of coming at a time when the literary field, at least in the departments of belles lettres, was almost empty. |
| | Lamartine has been extolled as a pattern of combined passion and restraint, as a model of nobility of sentiment, and as a harmonizer of pure French classicism in taste and expression with much, if not all, the better part of Romanticism itself. |
