The arrangement answered, and in Le Journal pour rire the weekly caricature signed by Dore soon noised his fame abroad.

Even in his own lifetime, and in the heyday of his fame, his friendliest critics, who applauded him to the echo, perceived that the "manifold motions" of his versatile and unsleeping talent were not always sanctioned or blessed by his genius. Hence the unevenness of his work, the different values of this or that poem. ...
