You have presented me with a list of the best French writers of the 19th
century.
How about a title selection, ie., the best of... ?

You should ask to Paul D., he seems that he has a lot of knowledge about
literature.
I remember that few months ago he attempted an analogy with :

El Desdichado

Je suis le ténébreux, - le veuf, - l'inconsolé,
Le prince d'Aquitaine à la tour abolie :
Ma seule étoile est morte, - et mon luth constellé
Porte le soleil noir de la Mélancolie.
Dans la nuit du tombeau, toi qui m'as consolé,
Rends-moi le Pausilippe et la mer d'Italie,
La fleur qui plaisait tant à mon cœur désolé,
Et la treille où le pampre à la rose s'allie.
Suis-je Amour ou Phébus ?... Lusignan ou Biron ?
Mon front est rouge encor du baiser de la reine;
J'ai rêvé dans la grotte où nage la sirène...
Et j'ai deux fois vainqueur traversé l'Achéron :
Modulant tour à tour sur la lyre d'Orphée
Les soupirs de la sainte et les cris de la fée.

Gérard de Nerval

Moreover it's in your period : XIXth century. )

Thanks.
Unfortunately, I cannot locate these titles unless they are provided in
translation.

What da **** you talking 'bout..?

I am speaking about French literature of the XIX century.
I thought that you have already a reference to this famous poem in one of
our previous exchange months ago.

Which exchange?

Difficult to find on Google since you use to "x-no-archive" your messages.

Do you remember the gist of this one way "exchange"?

No, in fact it was a long message that you posted to my attention that I
didn't understand.
I thought there was some relation with this poem of Gérard de Nerval
because it remembered me this obscur codification and I believe thar you
also used some Spanish vocable(s).


I don't understand "NP".


=No Problem.

Nice.

BTW I don't critic your use of the "x-no-archive" since I also put it in
my headers.
