Защото вътре са тежките късове самородно злато от Завещанията на Франсоа Вийон, много по-ценни от жълтиците, които той е обирал със своята банда; сияе филигранът на Ронсар и дю Беле, най-ярките звезди на Плеядата; искрят сълзите на Луиз Лабе, превърнати от раздялата в бисери; пламтят рубините от пролятата кръв в Трагедиите на Агрипа д'Обинье; понякога за миг ще те заслепи фалшивият - като нравите на епохата - блясък на някоя салонна епиграма; ще просветнат ... |
