Excerpt from L'Abbé Daniel: With Notes And Phrase List, Retranslation And Composition, Exercises And Vocabulary

All his work is marked by close and accurate observa tion of wild Nature - la A/îzture saur gc. Most of his fellow-countrymen prefer the gay parterres, the splashing fountains, the marble busts, and the neatly trimmed gardens of Italian classicism, but M. Theuriet has a passion for Nature in her neglected and uncultivated moods - a passion which binds him all the more closely to the fellow-countrymen of Wordsworth and Tennyson. His prose is the prose of a poet, who writes with an ear delicately attuned to the rhythmic swing and perfect cadence of a well-balanced clause. Indeed, we are of Opinion that the pupils for whom this little work has been prepared would do well to learn by heart the most beautiful descriptive passages as models of elegant prose by a modern master.
