Alphonse de Lamartine quotes - page 2
Alphonse de Lamartine was a French poet, writer, and politician, recognized as a leading figure of the Romantic movement. His literary works profoundly influenced French poetry and inspired social and political thought. He played a key role in the 1848 Revolution and advocated for democracy and human rights. Here are 32 of his quotes:
The first romantics were seers without even really realizing it: their soul's education began by accident: abandoned trains still smoking, occasionally taking to the tracks. Lamartine was a seer now and again, but strangling on old forms. Hugo, too pigheaded, certainly saw in his most recent works: Les Misérables is really a poem. I've got Les Chatiments with me; Stella gives some sense of Hugo's vision. Too much Belmontet and Lamennais with their Jehovahs and colonnades, massive crumbling edifices.
