MEISSONIER M EISSONIER saidone day: I oua^htto go to the School forthe BHnd, and learn themethod of writino- taucjhtthere, for I scarcely sleepat all now, and I spendmy nights in meditationand retrospect. It wouldtire me terribly to writefor hours by candlelight,but I much regret my in-^ ability to fix the images that rise within me in thedarkness. I fancy I should have produced volumes by this time.
