“By Jove, it's great! Walk along the streets on some spring morning. The little women, daintily tripping along, seem to blossom out like flowers. What a delightful, charming sight! The dainty perfume of violet is everywhere. The city is gay, and everybody notices the women. By Jove, how tempting they are in their light, thin dresses, which occasionally give one a glimpse of the delicate pink flesh beneath!
"One saunters along, head up, mind alert, and eyes open. I tell you it's great! You see her in the distance, while still a block away; you already know that she is going to please you at closer quarters. You can recognize her by the flower on her hat, the toss of her head, or her gait. She approaches, and you say to yourself: 'Look out, here she is!' You come closer to her and you devour her with your eyes.
"Is it a young girl running errands for some store, a young woman returning from church, or hastening to see her lover? What do you care? Her well-rounded bosom shows through the thin waist. Oh, if you could only take her in your arms and fondle and kiss her! Her glance may be timid or bold, her hair light or dark. What difference does it make? She brushes against you, and a cold shiver runs down your spine. Ah, how you wish for her all day! How many of these dear creatures have I met this way, and how wildly in love I would have been had I known them more intimately.
"Have you ever noticed that the ones we would love the most distractedly are those whom we never meet to know? Curious, isn't it? From time to time we barely catch a glimpse of some woman, the mere sight of whom thrills our senses. But it goes no further. When I think of all the adorable creatures that I have elbowed in the streets of Paris, I fairly rave. Who are they! Where are they? Where can I find them again? There is a proverb which says that happiness often passes our way; I am sure that I have often passed alongside the one who could have caught me like a linnet in the snare of her fresh beauty.”

“Parmi les nombreuses maîtresses que vous avez troussées, avouez qu’il y en a une ou deux qui vous ont laissé des échardes dans le saignant. Il ne s’agit jamais de la plus belle, de la plus douce, de la plus prestigieuse, non, non… En général, ce serait plutôt une conquête de seconde catégorie, levée parce qu’elle était piquante, que vous avez prise pour l’aventure d’un soir. Et voici que la sournoise vous a ferré, en embuscade! (nouvelle "Le sentiment du fer")”

“– D’accord, grommelle Radswin, c’est bien vu. Mais c’est suffisant pour convaincre tes ras que ça n’a rien à voir avec le dragon. Quelle idée de leur parler de mines?
– Parce que ce sont des mines! s’enthousiasme Littyllytig. Dans la vieille tradition gnomique de Dun Heahcnawan, on transmet le souvenir de ces mines hydrauliques, mais je n’imaginais pas qu’elles aient pu exister dans le Kluferfell, ni qu’elles aient pu être si gigantesques! (nouvelle "Désolation")”
