François-René de CHATEAUBRIAND, Letter signed to the poet Charles Laurent. 1833

François-René de CHATEAUBRIAND (1769-1848)

Letter signed “Chateaubriand” and written by Hyacinthe Pilorge, Paris, January 17, 1833, to the poet Charles Laurent.
A page and a half. With address.

Beautiful letter on religion and poetry.

Chateaubriand congratulates him:

“to have devoted your first songs to Religion; true source of poetry, the more it is neglected today, the more treasures it has to lavish on those who devote themselves to its altars.
Some old Voltairians who hang around in this century and who in their ignorance do not have the slightest idea of the current renewal of Christianity through history and philosophy, are still
to the pleasant antics of my cousin Vadé (pseudonym of Voltaire); our educated and serious youth is no longer there; she understands that the long Christian civilization substituted for
Greek and Roman civilization, changed the face of the world and that for this reason alone, it would still be worth studying: the disdain of these incredulous wigs is
truly enjoyable”…
