Noth- Precursors of the Nineteenth Cenii(, ry. 31 ing charms him so much as that " rapture of re very, " to which calm solitude and the thousand voices of nature gently incline him. He loves what he calls his ramblings, — that confused life in which he half loses self-consciousness, as if his being passed into surrounding objects. Seated on the shores of a lake, the noise of the waves and the movement of its waters captivate his senses, and, driving every other agitation from his soul, plunge h...im, little by little, into a delight from which night surprises him with- out his having perceived its approach. Stretched on his back in a boat, with his eyes fixed on the sky, he lets his fancies, as well as his bark, drift at will with the current. Rousseau taught his contem- poraries the secret of that revery, unknown to the robust reason of the seventeenth century, which the cold lucidity of the philosophers and algebraists of the time thought but incoherent wanderings. With him it enters into our literature, is inoculated into French genius, opens to poetry the twilight recesses of the soul, — that world of obscure movements, confused and veiled sentiments, vague melancholy, ineffable, intoxicating delights, of which the Romanticists will sing.
