    EPIGRAPH: Ô ciel ! toute la Chine est par terre en morceaux ! Ce vase pâle et doux comme un reflet des eaux, Couvert d'oiseaux, de fleurs, de fruits, et des mensonges De ce vague idéal qui sort du bleu des songes, Ce vase unique, étrange, impossible, engourdi, Gardant sur lui le clair de lune en plein midi, Qui paraissait vivant, où luisait une flamme, Qui semblait presque un monstre et semblait presque une âme,

    EPIGRAPH: I broider the world upon a loom, I broider with dreams my tapestry ; Here in a little lonely room I am master of earth and sea, And the planets come to me.

    EPIGRAPH: Robin Hood is here again: all his merry thieves/ Hear a ghostly bugle-note shivering through the leaves... / The dead are coming back again, the years are rolled away / In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day.

    EPIGRAPH: And still of a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees, when the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, when the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, a highwayman comes riding.
