Le Mariage de Figaro / La Mère Coupable
CHÉRUBIN, exalté. Cela est vrai, d'honneur ! Je ne sais plus ce que je suis ; mais depuis quelque temps je sens ma poitrine agitée ; mon coeur palpite au seul aspect d'une femme ; les mots amour et volupté le font tressaillir et le troublent. Enfin le besoin de dire à quelqu'un Je vous aime est devenu pour moi si pressant que je le dis tout seul, en courant dans le parc, à ta maîtresse, à toi, aux arbres, aux nuages, au vent qui les emporte avec mes paroles perdues. - Hier je rencontrai Marceline... SUZANNE, riant. Ah ! ah ! ah ! ah ! (Le Mariage de Figaro, I, VII.)

J'ai lu ce livre pour le cours de littérature française. J'ai aimé le livre. L'amour de Beaumarchais est unique et l'action dans Le Mariage de Figaro est réalisé dans une manière très exacte pour ce temps-là.
