Sainte-Beuve with the words : "<strong>The</strong>y both proceed almost continually by figures,<br />

allegories, symbols." Vie, potsies et<br />

pensees de Joseph Delorme (Paris, 1863), vol. 1, p. 295. [J50a,3]<br />

A comparison between Baudelaire and Sainte-Beuve can unfold only within the<br />

narrow confines of subject matter and poetic workmanship. For Sainte-Beuve<br />

was a genial and indeed cozy sort of author. Charles Maguin justly writes in Le<br />

Globe of April 11, 1829: "His spirit might cloud over for a while, but no sooner<br />

does it compose itself than a fund of natural benevolence rises to the surface:'<br />

(Here, it is not the benevolence but the surface that is decisive.) "Without doubt,<br />

this is the source of that sympathy and indulgence which he inspires in us:'<br />

Vie, potsies et pensees de Joseph Delorme ( p aris, 1863), vol. 1, p. 294.<br />

Miserable sonnet by Sainte-Beuve (Les Consolations [paris, 1863], pp. 262-263) :<br />

"I love Paris and its beautiful sunsets of autunm;' witll the closing lines : "And I<br />

depart, in my thoughts mingling / Paris with an Ithaca of beautiful sunsets:'<br />

[J50a,5]<br />

Charles Magnin in his review of Les Poesies de Joseph Delorme, in Le Globe, April<br />

III 1829: Doubtless the alexandrine with a variable caesura calls for a stricter<br />

rhyme."
