Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
Marie Anne Henriette Payan de L'Étang, Marquise d'Antremont, later Baronne de Bourdic, later Madame Viot (1746-1802) was three times married. She was already known for several pieces of verse inserted in the Almanach des Muses when, for a while, she acquired a real fame through her Ode au Silence, which was long considered one of the master-pieces of the eighteenth century.—B.
