Lamartine

This article of Lamartine, and his personal efforts on behalf of Mistral, contributed greatly to the success of the poem.

We may partly define Mistral's art in stating that it is utterly unlike that of Lamartine.

From the outset the poem enjoyed great success, and the enthusiastic praise of Lamartine contributed greatly thereto.

Lamartine would not have been reminded of the ancient Greek poets had Calendau preceded Mirèio.

Whatever Lamartine's vanity and weakness, he must, we think, have credit for patriotic purpose.
