dou à quelqu'un {tam.)=lui répliquer de manière à lui fermer la bouche, 28. 4. ÏAimartine, A oelebrated French poet (1790 1869). He ranks with Victor Hugo and Alfred de Musset among the foremost poets of the 19thcentury. He was prominent in the political life of his times, and was eminent as a brilliant orator. Lamartine not being so modem as to discard classical forma of expression he naturally would be contemptuously dismissed as old - f ashioned by a literary décident like the Marins of our story, who représenta the frothy, erratic élément of Paris student life.

7. Jocelyn (1836). One of the best known works of Lamartine, a narrative poem of ten rising to the dignity of an epic. The subject matter deals with a priest of the Jura région, on the border of S witzerland, whose life is filled with noble thoughts and Works of charity. The tone of the poem is grave and stately, the versification faultless, the descriptions of nature admirable. But religious and philosophical spéculations occupy perhape too prominent a place for the interest of the average reader.
