"No one knows how to portray a woman better than you,
You have invented the language of love,
In the hearts of your heroes you infuse your soul,
From the banks of the Nile to the Rhine, from Moyse to Bauldour.
For you, the human heart has no hieroglyph,
&| the mortal doubt that bleaches our hair,
When we pursue an apocryphal problem,
Is a truth for you, according to your wishes"... Etc.
