add to cart   close window

In the year 1836 Madame George Sand was engaged in her suit of separation from her husband, and was meanwhile making a revision of "Lélia." She expressed her ideal at that time, "To throw yourself in the bosom of nature, to take her really as a mother and a sister, to cut away from life stoically and religiously what only belongs to vanity, to resist the proud and the wicked, to be humble and small with the unfortunate, to live on almost nothing, to give away almost everything, and so to reestablish the primitive equality and to revive the divine institution—such is the religion which I will preach in my corner."
