In my previous notes I must have given a false color to this antique country, by describing so many crowds, dancing festivals, «£o. The Breton * a man alone. It is from his silence, from his attention to the past, that one derives his real character. How is he portrayed by the romancers who have found their Add in Brittany,- by Paul I’Sval, by Emile Souvestre, by Pitre-Chevalier/ by Hippolyte Eneas, and a crowd of song writers ? Always as a man who lives in bis traditions, and imports into his veiy Chris tlanity a swarm of Dm id fables. The Par dons, the games and dancing are but a gleam, of a faint and watery quality, break ing upon the momehtof his adolescence. The moment passes quickly, he loses his health and his objectivity, and lapses for lift into a retrospective gloom. . “ n.
