Excerpt from Frederic Mistral: Poet and Leader in Provence The land of the Troubadours is now the land of the Felibres; these modern singers do not forget, nor will they allow the people of the south to forget, that the union of France with Provence was that of an equal with an equal, not of a principal with a subordinate. Patriots they are, however, ardent lovers of France, and proofs of their strong afiection for their coun try are not wanting. To-day, amid all their activity and demonstrations in behalf of what they often call la petite patrie, no enemies or doubters are found to question their loyalty to the greater fatherland.
