Inspired this quote from Gustave Charpentier -- "What sweet and noble emotions we once more owe to you. What a pure, strong work ! So different from your other works, we might well wonder by what miracle the hand that penned 'Cendrillon' could suddenly have become so tranquil, so serene, and so powerful. The smile of God after the smile of a child."
