"Parler de soi est toujours mal. Cela suppose qu’on pense beaucoup à soi ; or le temps donné à penser à soi est un vol fait à Dieu, comme on aurait dit autrefois. [...] Je joue depuis quelque temps un jeu fort dangereux : parler sans cesse de mourir en continuant d’occuper la place que des jeunes gens de génie sont pressés de prendre ! J’ai peur d’être bientôt sommé de tenir parole ; je vais m’arrêter. (Préface de Feuilles détachées). Ernest Renan tint parole. Il meurt l’année de la parution de l’ouvrage, le 2 octobre 1892.

 

Beaux exemplaires en reliure uniforme de Marius Michel.
