Excerpt from Œuvres Complètes, Vol. 4: Théâtre, Ier
Je me souviens que, passant par une petite ville de province, les beaux esprits du lieu me prièrent de leur réciter cette pièce, qu'ils disaient être un chef-d'oeuvre; j'eus beau leur répondre que je n'en étais point l'auteur, et que la pièce était misérable ils ne m'en crurent point sur ma parole: ils ad mirèrent ma retenue, et j'acquis ainsi auprès d'eux, sansy penser, la réputation d'un grand poète et d'un homme fort modeste.
