ARNAULT

La feuille.

This touching little poem, composed in January, 1816 (see Sainte- Beuve's Causeries, vu), refers to the final downfall of the Emperor, and to the author's own disgrâce. It is given hère as a kind of contrast to the anti-Napoleonic tone of the extract from Madame de Staël's Dix années d'exil.
