‘Come sit we downe under this Hawthorne tree,
The morrowes light shall lend us daie enough,
And tell a tale of Gawen or Sir Guy,
Of Robin Hood, or of good Clem of the Clough.’

—Qui l’a faite?
—On ne sait pas.
—Quand?
—On ne sait pas.
—Quand tu étais petit?
—Avant que je fusse au monde, avant qu’y fût mon père, et lepère de mon père, et le père du père de mon père. Cela a toujours été.—Rolland, L’Aube.
