He was a friend and publishing collaborator in Brittany of the young Leconte de Lisle, two years his junior, and the humourist N. Mille in Brittany.
The French poet Leconte de Lisle adapted the Hervararkviða as he wrote a poem entitled L’Épée d’Angantyr ("Angantyr's sword").
Its text is the poem La fille aux cheveux de lin No. 4 of the Chansons écossaises (Scottish songs) from Charles Leconte de Lisle's Poemes antiques (Ancient poems), published by Alphonse Lemerre in Paris, 1874.
Among his friends in those years was the musician Charles Bénézit.
