George Sand

Läst lite mer om George Sand nu, what a woman! Tydligen hade hon inte bara ihop det med Chopin, utan även med poeten Alfred de Musset, som hon lämnade hartbroken på semester i Venedig (båda blev sjuka och hon drog med den charmiga Italienska läkaren). Musset lär dock ha skrivit detta om henne:

/

Again I see you, ah my queen,

Of all my old loves that have been,

The first love, and the tenderest;

Do you remember or forget -

Ah me, for I remember yet -

How the last summer days were blest?

...

What did I say - why do I dream?

Why should I struggle with the stream

Whose waves return not any day?

Close heart, and eyes, and arms from me;

Farewell, farewell! so must it be,

So runs, so runs, the world away,

/

The season bears upon its wing

The swallows and the songs of spring,

And days that were, and days that flit;

The loved lost hours are far away;

And hope and fame are scattered spray

For me, that gave you love a day

For you that not remember it.

Hon ska även ha haft ett förhållande med Prosper Mérimée, dramatiker. Det var han som skrev historien om Carmen, som Bizét senare gjorde till opera. Det ni.
