. . In two words--and weshall not object to have judgment passed in accordance with thisobservation on the two kinds of literature that are called _classic_ and_romantic_, --regularity is the taste of mediocrity, order is the taste ofgenius. . . . It will be objected to us that the virgin forest hides inits magnificent solitudes a thousand dangerous animals, while the marshybasins of the French garden conceal at most a few harmless creatures. That is doubtless a misfortune; but, taking it all i...n all, we like acrocodile better than a frog; we prefer a barbarism of Shakspere to aninsipidity of Campistron. " But above all things--such is the doctrine ofthis preface--do not imitate anybody--not Shakspere any more than Racine. "He who imitates a _romantic_ poet becomes thereby a _classic_, and justbecause he imitates. " In 1823 Hugo had published anonymously his firstprose romance, "Han d'Islande, " the story of a Norwegian bandit.
