Excerpt from Oeuvres Complètes de François Coppée de l'Académie Française, Vol. 8: Prose
Rien n'était plus rébarbatif que cette cour. Dans un coin, le vieux puits à poulie avait l'air d'être empoisonné. Les mascarons grotesques, sculptés au-dessus des fenêtres, vous faisaient la moue, comme a un importun; et les marches du perron, aux dalles usées et disjointes, vous disaient claire ment Ne soyez pas le bienvenu.
