Le beau Narcisse, 1842. The handsome Narcissus. Il était jeune et beau, de leurs douces haleines, Les zéphirs caressaient ses contours pleins d'attraits, Et dans le miroir des fontaines Il aimait comme nous à contempler ses traits. (He was young and beautiful; with their sweet breaths, the zephirs caressed his contours full of attractions, And in the mirror of the fountains, He loved, like us, to contemplate his features). From L'Histoire ancienne.
