Excerpt from La Rotisserie de la Reine Pedauque J'ai dessein de rapporter les rencontres singulieres de ma vie. Il y en a de belles et d'etranges. En les rememorant, je doute moi-meme si je n'ai pas reve. J'ai connu un cabbaliste gascon dont je ne puis dire qu'il etait sage, car il perit malheureusement, mais qui nie tint, une nuit, dans l'ile aux Cygnes, des discours sublimes que j'ai eu le bonheur de retenir et le soin de mettre par ecrit.
