Overview

Excerpt from The Life of Ernest Renan The same quality - neither rich nor sound but infinitely sweet - clings about the people. The men in the fields gaze at you with stern dark faces in an almost a'nimal placidity. In Renan's youth, they were still almost as wild as their country, strange rude men, with flowing hair, wrapped up in goatskins in wintertime. The girls are charming - it is difficult to say why their slender and yet rough hewn figures have no more grace of curve than a thirteenth century church saint in her niche. Their pale faces, with down-dropped lids and delicate pointed chins, have very little bloom. In their black dresses and white coifs they have the austere distinction, the demure reserve, of very young novrces who renounce they know not what.
