Thus, though the inexorable facts of history have forcibly severed Alsace from France, each one of the legends is a link in a chain, the more indissoluble that it is immaterial and intangible, binding the two countries together by community of origin, by. memories of the past, and, above all, by sympathy of aims and aspirations. M. Schure has little in common with the school who make beauty of versification the be all and end all. With him, .... la forme est un symbole; Mais l'Ame est immortelle." Every line is inspired with a well-defined and serious meaning, yet la. forme is in no degree sacrificed. His verse is stately and sonorous, his narrative, clothed in language both simple and elevated, is as rapid, flowing and explicit as though it were unfettered by rhyme and metre.
