The first sentence of the fourth cover sums up this collection: "Made prose and poems I know - or knew - by heart, this book aspires to nothing but give a little pleasure, and perhaps emotionally, to those who read it. " "And you my heart" consists of various poems, prose, letters or songs Ormesson retained his writing life. Less than a reference, it is rather a ride (for a short trail) through the "literature" French. We open the book at random to discover du Bellay, Hugo or Corneille. For me the walk is fun, sometimes moving, relaxing. I just regret the lack of reference where I would like to know what book are extracted some poems. Worse, some poems are incomplete or "holes"; but it follows naturally from the aspect "memorial" of the collection, Ormesson citing head.
In short, unpretentious poems box, which will delight the siroteurs rhymes.
For those wondering the nature of the content, here's a sample: "In London I met Bella" - Toulet "Autumn Song" - Verlaine "Say, when are you coming back?" - Barbara "Prose of the Transsiberian and of the little Jehanne de France" - Cendras "Evening Harmony" - Baudelaire Flaubert's Letters to Guy de Maupassant "Ballad of the ladies of yesteryear" - Villon "Memoirs of Hadrian" - Yourcenar "A little music" - Hugo
