What political beliefs did Alfred de Vigny hold after the July Revolution?

Following the July Revolution of 1830, Alfred de Vigny experienced a profound sense of political pessimism and disillusionment. While he maintained a sense of honor regarding his loyalty to the monarchy, he became deeply critical of the French political landscape, viewing the cause of the Bourbon king Charles X as no more valid than that of his successor, Louis-Philippe, whom he saw as a product of the moneyed bourgeoisie.1

Vigny searched unsuccessfully for a coherent political creed and ultimately refrained from giving his allegiance to any specific faction. His work during this period, particularly in Stello, reflects a belief that poets should separate their artistic lives from the public arena to avoid the cruelties and fanaticism inherent in all political regimes. Consequently, he advocated for a withdrawal from direct political involvement, eventually retreating into what has been described as an "ivory tower" to preserve the dignity of his art.1
