CHAPTER VII

AMONG THE UTOPIANS

1858-1864

“Often in the years that are darkening around me, I remember our beautiful scheme of a noble and unselfish life and how fair in that first summer appeared the prospect that it might endure for generations.”—Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Blithedale Romance.

Moi qui ait vécu une partie de ma jeunesse avec des cabétiens, des phalansteriens, des saint-simonians.”—Mme. Adam, Souvenirs.
