"Dans l’atmosphère de la mort tu aurais trouvé ce à quoi ton noble cœur inquiet aspirait toujours. Le festin sanglant — cette comparaison un peu banale est la vérité même. Nous pataugeons dans du sang jusqu’aux genoux et la tête tourne de ce vin rouge, comme l’appellent en plaisantant mes braves compagnons.
