| Evènement | 1847 | Grand Pré |
| Poem "Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, published in 1847: René Leblanc will be here anon, with his papers and ink-horn. Shall we not then be glad, and rejoice in the joy of our children?’ As apart by the window she stood, with her hand in her lover’s, Blushing Evangeline heard the words that her father had spoken, And, as they died on his lips, the worthy notary entered. III Bent like a labouring oar, that toils in the surf of the ocean, Bent, but not broken, by age was the form of the notary public; Shocks of yellow hair, like the silken floss of the maize, hung Over his shoulders; his forehead was high; and glasses with horn bows Sat astride on his nose, with a look of wisdom supernal. Father of twenty children was he, and more than a hundred Children's children rode on his knee, and heard his great watch tick. Four long years in the time of the war had he languished a captive, Suffering much in an old French fort as the friend of the English. Now, though warier grown, without all guile or suspicion, Ripe in wisdom was he, but patient, and simple, and childlike. He was beloved by all, and most of all by the children; For he told them tales of the Loup-garou in the forest, And of the goblin that came in the night to water the horses, And of the white Létiche, the ghost of a child who unchristened Died, and was doomed to haunt unseen the chambers of children; And how on Christmas even the oxen talked in the stable, And how the fever was cured by a spider shut up in a nutshell, And of the marvellous powers of four-leaved clover and horseshoes, With whatsoever else was writ in the lore of the village. Excerpt from poem Evangeline An illustration of the poem showing "René LeBlanc Notary Public of Grand-Pré" appeared on the front cover of Harper's Weekly, an American political magazine based in New York City, in 1875. | ||
