Emancipated by his father, Mistral resolved: "to raise, revive in Provence the feeling of race ...; to move this rebirth by the restoration of the natural and historical language of the country ...; to restore the fashion to Provence by the breath and flame of divine poetry".
Emancipado polo seu pai, toma daquela o acordo: «de erguer, de reavivar en Provenza o sentimento de raza (...); de promover este renacemento a prol da restauración da lingua natural e histórica do país (...); de pór de moda o provenzal polo alento e o lume da divina poesía».
