''Guy de Pourtalès has chosen to group his biographical studies, certain essays and those of these novels which seem to him to belong to the same poetics, are part of a somewhat identical inner life. A Romanticism that began around 1830 to last three-quarters of a century and died out with the war of 1914.'' (in Catalog des Éditions de la NRF, 1936).
