Synopsis
Excerpt from Des Méthodes en Géométrie
Par un contraste remarquable, c'est d'une façon tout Opposée que l'on procède dans les études littéraires. Là le culte du passé fleurit dans toute sa splendeur les grandes voix des poètes, des phi1050phoe, des historiens qui vivaient il y a deux mille ans, dominent toutes les voix du siècle; et si leurs oeuvres renferment des beautés éternelles, on n'est pas injuste envers eux, et l'admiration qu'ils inspirent demeure éternellement jeune. Et je ne sache pas de plus éloquente louange des gloires littéraires de l'antiquité, que le spectacle donné depuis vingt siècles par chaque génération nouvelle venant continuer, avec les esprits les plus profonds et les plus élégants de la Grèce et de Rome, ce commerce non encore interrompu qui forme la chaine vivante du passé au présent, et dont Descartes a 'si bien caractérisé le charme 'et l'utilité en le présentant comme une conversation avec les plus honnêtes gens des temps passés et même une conversa tion étudiée en laquelle ils ne nous découvrent que les meil leares de leurs pensées (3)
