Regarded as perhaps the best account written of the poet’s latter days, it appeared first in L’Ermitage, a monthly literary review, in June, 1902. It was afterwards reprinted with some few slight alterations in a volume of critical essays, entitled Prétextes, by M. Gide. This edition the first published in English by special arrangement with the author.
