[Footnote 14: _The Lady of the Lake_ breathes a delightful freshness,
the very spirit of mountain and wood, free alike from the moral
preaching of Wordsworth, and from the storms of passion.]

[Footnote 16: 'Sa formule religieuse, c'est une question; sa pensee,
c'est le doute ... l'artiste divinise chaque detail. Son pantheisme
ne s'applique pas seulement a l'ensemble des choses; Dieu tout entier
est reellement present poor lui dans chaque fragment de matiere dans
le plus immonde animal ... c'est une religion aussi vieille que
l'humanite decline; cela s'appelle purement et simplement le
fetichisme.' (Laprade.)]

[Footnote 18: 'Like a lily softly swaying in the hushed air, so my
being moves in its elements, in the charming dream of her.' 'Our
souls rush forward in colossal plans, like exulting streams rushing
perpetually through mountain and forest.' 'If the old mute rock of
Fate did not stand opposing them, the waves of the heart would never
foam so beautifully and become mind.' 'There is a night in the soul
which no gleam of starlight, not even dry wood, illuminates,' etc.]

[Footnote 23: 'A young hunter was sitting in the heart of the
mountains in a thoughtful mood beside his fowling-piece, while the
noise of the water and the woods was sounding through the solitude
... it grew darker ... the birds of night began to shoot with fitful
wing along their mazy courses ... unthinkingly he pulled a straggling
root from the earth, and on the instant heard with affright a stifled
moan underground, which winded downwards in doleful tones, and died
plaintively away in the deep distance. The sound went through his
inmost heart; it seized him as if he had unwittingly touched the
wound, of which the dying frame of Nature was expiring in its agony.'
