Overview Although Rousseau wrote the work as a novel, a philosophical theory about authenticity permeates through it, as he explores autonomy and authenticity as moral values. A common interpretation is that Rousseau valued the ethics of authenticity over rational moral principles, as he illustrates the principle that one should do what is imposed upon him by society only insofar as it would seem congruent with one's "secret principles" and feelings, being constituent of one's core identit His works were mainly sculptures and statues, and he was also a portrait painter.

Life She was born at Aachen, and christened Delphine Gay. Her mother, the well-known Madame Sophie Gay, brought her up in the midst of a brilliant literary society.

Contes d'une vieille fille a ses neveux Vermare was the son of the sculptor Pierre Vermare. He waved Ebner, who had moved forward to assist, aside, grasped his silver-tipped cane and walked forward, shakily but unaided, with the hesitant rolling gait typical of his ataxic condition. He was smaller and frailer than I had imagined, but an awareness of his own charm and once youthful capability was still apparent in his attentive gaze and lingering smile. I was also reminded that he was so short-sighted that he had once talked for fifteen minutes to a rug on a chair, believing it to be Edmond de Goncourt.

He greeted me warmly, in the French manner. Politely accepted the paua shell. Gestured to a sofa beneath the window suggesting the light would assist with note-taking. I said that, as I was unable to sit, I would stand against the wall. Concerned, he pressed me for details. I summarised my predicament heavy fall, marble floor, damaged nerve. He shook his head.

Observed that since sitting was almost as natural as walking, I must be greatly inconvenienced. How do you write—do you employ a secretary? Nerve pain, you say? His successor at the Sorbonne, Fulgence Raymond, might see you. Ebner will send a letter of introduction. His kindly air is in no sense a mask. I had intended to open by reviewing, with Daudet, details of his life and writing career. His first publications were a collection of poetry, Les Amoureuses , and La Double Conversion , a short story in verse.

He was especially remembered for his Tartarin series, and for Numa Roumestan , which contrasts meridional and Parisian life. I had also anticipated setting parameters regarding discussion of syphilis. But, as Daudet settled in his chair, the purposeful mood of the room changed. Heavy rain, threatening since dawn, started to fall. The light dropped, shadowing and relaxing his face. The windows became foggy. The coal dwindled to ash, its remnants glowing in the grate. And, as we conversed—Daudet taking time to fill his small pipe, stroke his beard and sift through his papers in order, I assumed, to facilitate my note-taking, or alert me to the weight of a phrase or a silence I was expected to consider—I became aware of a shift beyond the lamp with the stamped paper shade to the lightness of relief, birdsong, a sunny nook in the garden—to a place of the poppy, perhaps?

Do you speak allegorically—how would someone who suffers sell happiness? I intend no allegory. I refer to the happiness that arises from conforter in Old French: I stand at this window and roads appear to me, as escapes from my pain. I tread paths soft with simple herbs. I hear broom popping. I stroll into the distance. I listen and remember. I would reach out to everyone and gently gain their confidence. This appeal to the ego is failsafe! Then, I would gradually produce a picture of a constrained but a nevertheless worthwhile future, in which the patient consoles and supports himself by comforting others.

Placing my aims beyond myself in this way enables me to evade Fate to some extent. Has pain been your Fate? But these are unpublished. How can this be? You are where the past and the present touch. I am between the present and the future. La Doulou was published by Madame Daudet in , page 30 and in and appeared in separate English translations.

The first translation was made by Milton Garver, a professor of French at Yale. And he says that this pity, by which I assume he includes empathy, was apparent in your dealings with other sufferers, and in your writing generally. It was made by the English writer, Julian Barnes. In the land of pain. Take, too, the opening dialogue. How you warm to such a person, how you insist he tells you every last detail! The original manuscript has disappeared. A friend in severe pain for a year turned away from it. Nonetheless, I found your explicit descriptions of agony and desperation validating.

Like supporting shadows, they lent me a strange comfort and strength. Were the notes compiled to console others as well as yourself? Not just my own plight, but also those of the sufferers I met at the spas. From an early age, it was my habit to record life, as I observed it, in notebooks. Charcot encouraged me to sketch medically. His death four years ago—a heart attack—was a great loss to neurology. But he was an unrivalled diagnostician. As for the beam and harness affair, it was designed to extend the spine and slacken the joints of ataxics. He imported it from Russia.

Keller, the hydrotherapist, carried out the treatments in page 33 the spa room—in the evening when no one was around. Edmond de Goncourt witnessed the spectacle. He found the sight of patients hanging in the shadows beyond description. I instantly remember the grimness. In front of me the small dark Russian writhes and moans and lifts his arms in the air. I kneel on all fours waiting for the fire in my back and neck to subside and the melted marrow to congeal so I can be helped to my feet.

I subjected myself to thirteen sessions, not stopping until I vomited blood—the intense stress, I imagined. The fruitless search for relief. In , when the pains became relentless and the unsteadiness and sense of myself in space worsened, I finally mustered the courage to consult Charcot—the ultimate classifier. One needs to know the worst. He prescribed gold chloride and advised the hot baths at Lamalou. For bouts of extreme pain there was morphine, which he recommended keeping below a certain dose and switching the times it was taken.

No, the hallucinations are too disturbing.

I immersed myself in the waters up to my neck reading my old friend Montaigne. I sat on a stone bench inside the bath in the opaque yellow water, reading and eavesdropping and remembering dramas and remarks for my notes. At night, in the hotel, I read about Livingstone in Central Africa.

The plodding monotony of his journey. The constant checking of air change and altitude. The grasslands and swamps. The preoccupations with cooking pots. The supplies, slow to arrive. The travels of Sir Richard Burton work in the same way for me. I savour his tribulations as much his exotic locations. As Shakespeare says in Romeo and Juliet: And as they say in the Midi, the land of the sick: Lamalou-les-Bains—I hope to go there.

I have a pamphlet. Healing waters first revealed during mining in the eleventh century. Muddy pools used by peasants in pain, their clothes impregnated by sulphur. The smell of wood fires. Potted lemon trees in the courtyard. Ataxics shuffling to and fro, performing their three-steps-and-a- hoppolka. Patrons who share the same pain— no longer loners with odd illnesses, dismissed as hypochondriacs, considered sad but boring.

Subjects also to avoid—in the dining room, gummy mouths ruminating, eyes glued to their plates, casting furious glances when their dishes are carried in late; and in the latrine, side by side, sharing their distressing evacuations, lit by the same gas jet ring. In La Doulou you describe pains in your legs, bladder and waist.

Rats gnawing at your toes with razor teeth. A blade repeatedly thrust into your little finger. Intolerable flashes of pain in your heels and the soles of your feet. A pocket knife twisting beneath your big toenail. Muscles ground beneath the wheels of a wagon.

The worst was the pain I call the breastplate—a continuous, hideous spasm in my ribs, hoops of steel crushing my lower back.

It had you in its grip for months. After one cruel night I wrote: Intimations of agony floated to and fro. I took a spoonful of bromide, salty, bitter. Sometimes I wonder if Flaubert struggled to find the right words because of the enormous quantity of bromide he ingested. A brief peace, broken by my need for bromide with its side effects of depression and memory loss, and the chloral, which leaves me tired and on edge.

Before I returned to morphine, from which I wake in the night in a vacuum with no sense of time and place, with no sense of myself as a person, with no ideas. Morphine—the only true analgesic. The unpredictable rages it provokes, the interference with my writing and dreams.

It makes me unkind to Julia and the children. Side effects—no drug of relief is without them. He writes about this in Contre Sainte-Beuve , a collection of notes published in , like La Doulou more than 30 years posthumously. Young Proust, ah yes. He believed the hidden self, the inner biography, the experiences processed and stored in the memory—the song within an author—was of greater importance.

Sainte-Beuve suffered much hidden pain in retirement. Like you, he was unable to sit and had to write lying or standing. His doctors were unable to diagnose the problem. People would ask after his back, but as far as we knew his back was sound. After his post-mortem, it was rumoured the pain had been caused by the stone.

He later learned your pain had intensified. When you returned, your brow was perspiring as if in the wake of a struggle, but your breathing was easy, calmed by victory. Proust was in awe of your courage. His own suffering, he says, was of no consequence by comparison.

Supposition and long-windedness bother me. One needs to pass through theory and into the picture. At this point, as if prompted, Daudet excused himself and, with the aid of his cane, left the room. A door opened and shut, further down the hall. I took the opportunity to look over the table where he wrote very slowly and revised, revised, revised. I could never dictate a novel. And the workspace was piled with papers and books, of which I listed the yellowed sulphur stained?

There were also Rousseau, whom he defended against those who railed against sexual transgression; Napoleon on campaign; undertakings in Africa; a mission to Madagascar; an expedition to the North Pole.

La Douleur

I positioned the pillow. What would Daudet observe about me: He took the shell from its box and held it to the lamp. Turned it this way page 40 and that. Propped it against his pipe. Watched it gleam blue, silver and green. Can we revisit the notes you made about the sufferers you met at the mineral pools? Violent men become timorous. Was La Doulou intended as a work of poetry or fiction? I envisaged an honest confession— dictante dolore , with pain dictating—of moving through pain and disability towards death. I wanted to leave no suggestion of complaint against those I loved.
