At An Analysis Of Henri Beyle; The Novelist, Stendhal
Stendhal, you tested a hundred pen names
until you found the one that truly meant
to you a kind and style that could content
disatisfactions of identity
suffered through stern, paternal perfidy.
On this, the scholars' gossip has concurred;
this is the version that I, too, have heard.
