Excerpt from Mes Mémoires
Du tend de la Bretagne, c'est-à-dire du château de la Ches naie, arrivait un pretre d'une quarantaine d'années, petit, nerveux, pâle, avec les cheveux en broussailles, le front à pic, la téte serrée aux coins, comme si elle était fermée par ces murailles osseuses qui, selon Gall, abolissent chez l'homme la convoitise, la ruse et l'acquisivité; avec le nez long et di laté aux ailes, signe de grande intelligence, selon Lavater; enfin, avec le regard incisif et le menton résolu. Tout, dans les traits extérieurs de l'homme décelait une origine celtique.
