To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Unlike the others, this is engraved on the plate in Ro- man characters instead of being etched in the artist's own handwriting, which is, perhaps, one reason why it seems less personal and more perfunctory. Worthier of translation is the little set of verses which Meryon inscribed in a portfolio of the Eaux-Fortes sur Paris sent, in 1854, to his friend, Eugene Blery, who taught him how to etch : — Blery, to you, my guide, Who first for me untied Of art, your secret way; Who did, without delay, ...Of your high-burning soul, The mirror bright unveil; My Muse, fresh for the goal, Of what it hath, though frail, Would make an offering, In graving here your name Within the frontis frame Of this small gift of hers — Though what stirs in her heart But feebly it avers — The first fruits of her art. Had Meryon ever carried out his scheme for a port- folio of prints illustrative of his travels in the South Seas, he might have written a number of poems to ac- 28 Meryon. Le Pilote de Tonga (1861) This song, composed in prose, after the manner of the inhabitants of New Zealand, was intended as a preface to a series of souvenirs of the voyage of the corvet Rhin, which Meryon intended to illustrate.
