RÉTIF ou RESTIF DE LA BRETONNE : sa vie et son oeuvre
apparaître comme la lente maturation du futur écrivain, puis l'épanouissement de son destin. Le désir d'écriture est toujours déjà là chez le jeune pâtre, aussi loin que remonte son souvenir, mais, inversement, la formation de l'enfant et de l'adolescent est effacée au profit du surgissement, impérieux et relativement tardif, de sa vocation. Dans la France du xvme siècle finissant, où les droits d'auteur n'existent pas encore mais où les encyclopédis t...

Sujet : Désirer est-ce nécessairement souffrir ?
Celui qui n'a rien désire peu de choses ; celui qui ne commande à personne a peu d'ambition. Mais le superflu éveillela convoitise : plus on obtient, plus on désire ».

Eneffet, on peut passer notre vie à désirer une personne ou un bien, sans jamais réaliser ce désir ce qui revient à ceque dit Jean Simard « Nous passo...

L'art imite t-il la nature ?
l’artiste trouve dans la nature une harmonie des formes il l’a trouve si parfaite qu’il considère qu’il a plus intérêt à la copier que decopier d’autres modèles provenant d’autres artistes. « Le peintre fera œuvre de peu de valeur s’il prend pour guide les œuvres d’autrui, mais s’il étudie d’après les créations de la nature, il aura de bons résultats. Nous voyons cela chez les peintres qui suivirent les Romains, et qui s’imitaient toujours l’un l’autre, et...
