Synopsis
Excerpt from Le Chemin de Traverse, Vol. 1
Mains rouges, au sein qui bat. La jeunesse, c'est la poé sie, éparse çà et là, qui vous accompagne comme un parfum invisible; elle se joue à votre chevet elle s'assied à votre table elle rit dans votre verre à demi-plein c'est elle qui ouvre la porte aux créanciers avec un air madré et boudeur, et qui les paye avec un sourire. Dites-moi donc quand vous faites un livre, si votre héros est un jeune homme? En ce cas vous êtes sauvé mon frère; en ce cas vous allez faire un chef-d'oeuvre, mon frère quelque chose comme Paul et Virginie M anon-les caut, ou les premiers chapitres de Gil Blas.
