He was a brilliant officer in Africa, Tonkin and everywhere where battles were fought, and began to cultivate the Muses quite late in life.

Brillant officier en Afrique, au Tonkin et partout où l'on se bat, il commence à cultiver les Muses assez tardivement. Commence par des coups de maître et marque immédiatement sa place au premier rang. Il compose des poèmes d'une grande allure, d'un souffle d'effet et d'une rare élégance de style. Il connaît actuellement un nouveau succès avec le Fo...etc d...r Persée, que M.
