As soon as Alfred recovered, the three agreed that George and Pietro had best go away together. She later returned to Alfred but the glamor was gone. Thereafter Alfred de Musset, when in need of funds, would reopen the wound of his old love, watch the metaphorical blood flow as he penned a poem. Last and most famed of George Sand's lovers was Frederic null Chopin, of whom a friend said: "There...
