'Je voudrais vous entretenir de certaines façons qu'il y a de transcrire un paysage en poésie ... je les prendrai, pour la plupart, dans lew dernier livre de vers d'un poète que vous aimez tous et qui, mieux que nul autre, a su dire la singularité et pénétrante poésie des grands parcs disposés en vue d'un noble effet, des allées que ferme un horizon artificiel coupé d'une nymphe neigeuse, des ifs taillés, des colonnades blanches et des jardins bien disposés. Autant vous le nommer tout de suite, son nom est déjåa sur vos lèvres, c'est d'Henri de Régnier surtout que je vous parlerai ... '. (From the opening of de Voisins lecture).
