Zusammenfassung:	He did not even live twenty-nine years. His family wanted him a priest, he dreamed himself a poet. His sister Eugenie covered him with a demanding and anxious tenderness. He thought he could find an asylum in the community of Felicite de Lamennais at La Chenaie. He tried to enter journalism under the aegis of Hippolyte de La Morvonnais and his circle of Catholic and Breton friends. He became dandy and skeptical under the tutelage of Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly, who nicknamed him Somegod, "the some god". The "tyrant" of his imagination was "the word of life". He wrote his drunkenness and uneasiness in his Green Notebook and in poems of strange beauty. George Sand brought him a posthumous fame. Who was Maurice de Guérin (1810-1839), born the same year as Alfred de Musset?
