Baudelaire to Sainte-Beuve Thursday, 30th March, 1865. My dear friend, I thank you for your excellent letter ; can you write any which are not excellent ? CHAELES BAUDELAIRE 149 When you call me " My dear son, " you touch me and make me laugh at the same time. In spite of my many white hairs, which make me look (to the stranger) like an academician, I have great need of some one who loves me enough to call me his " son " ; but I cannot help thinking of that burgrave of 120 years of age who, spe...aking to a burgrave of eighty, said to him : '' Young man, be silent ! 9i (In parentheses and let this be be- tween us if I wrote a tragedy I should be afraid of letting fly some shafts of this energy and of hitting another target than that at which I had aimed. ) Only, I observe that in your letter there is no allusion to the copy of " Histoires grotesques et serieuses " that I asked Michel Levy to send you.
