Subject: To find a source
To fellow members of HUMANIST
I am working on an "edition critique" of a Quebec novel published in 1883.
Author: Laure Conan; title: Angeline de Montbrun. There are a great number of
quotations in this novel most of them without name of author or title of the
work. I have not been able to find the source for the next quotation:
Calm and holy,
Thou sittest by the fireside of the heart,
Feeding its flames.
The only information given is that this compliment is addressed to a young
woman by a Reverend admirer.
If anyone can help me in finding the author, I would appreciate it very much.
Thanking you in advance.
Nicole Bourbonnais
