SpiritismSpiritism is the development of the Gospel,
the extension and expansion of life,
it is the truth! The loving shadow that follows
and comes to help and sustain the might
of my songs, casting an infinite joy
onto the happy space of my feelings.
Like a spark that involves my soul,
its noble Spirit, light spreading beams,
fulfills my days with an invisible glow
and my nights with enchanted dreams.
And when I scan the ages, from heavens
its breath delivers a memory that I nurture,
dissipating the clouds of the present,
transforming my past into my future.
“Child”, I hear, “abandon this Earth;
and your past shall be reborn,
and that father of yours is now by your
side, eternal love henceforth!”

Mrs. Quillet, author of Églantine, has just published as small and charming book with the title “Une heure de poèsie”, that will be certainly appreciated by those that love good verses. Since the work is alien to the Spiritist Doctrine, although absolutely not opposing it, its appreciation is beyond the scope of this Spiritist Review. We limit ourselves to say that the author demonstrates that, contrary to the opinion of some of her comrades in literature, one can have a Spirit and believe in the Spirits. Mrs. Quillet sent us the following words about the communications of Mrs. Foulon published in our March issue: “Mrs. Foulon believes that people would not understand the poetry of Spiritism. She must be right from her enlightened point of view. The winds of the poets certainly feel the weight of our dark atmosphere. But the instinct, the double vision that gifts them, come along to help their intelligence. I believe everyone is called to help the great task of regeneration of humanity according to one’s aptitudes: poets and philosophers, by the inspiration of the Spirits; the martyrs and workers by the invitation of the genius of the philosopher and the songs of the poets. Just sighs, it is true, but the basis and the complement of the concert is formed in the exile of the sighs.”
She adds the following verses to support the thoughts:
