Vos vers si doux, si clairs, si naturels, sont les plus feminins qui m'aient emu depuis longtemps et j'y ai retrouve votre charmante et pacifique influence sur le genie ardent qui vous choisit pour sa compagne' (Translation: 'I have read, we have read, in the melancholy that they reflect your poems Au bord des Terrasses, poems of Tourraine and of all the Saints who are called memories, memories of family and joys flown away! Your verses, so sweet, so clear, so natural, are the most feminine that have moved me for a long time and I found there your charming and peaceful influence on the ardent genius who chose you for his companion').
