“Ég var aleinn á Götu Meistara Alberts. Var einn daginn á gangi þarna í grenndinni eftir götu heilags Jakobs, rue Saint-Jacques. Gatan liggur frá Notre Dame áleiðis niður í fjórtánda hverfi og svo áfram suður; þetta er fyrsti spottinn á pílagrímaleiðinni til Santiago de Compostela á Spáni og þess vegna heitir gatan í höfuðið á sankti Jakobi, Santiago.”
