Note 75 — Chapter III
Helene Meyer-Franck translation
"There are agreeable things in Bejazet, but there is nothing perfectly beautiful in it, nothing to carry you away in spite of yourself, none of the tirades which make you shiver when you read Corneille. My daughter, take good care not to compare Racine to him. Distinguish the difference between them" (16th March, 1672).
