4. Histoires extraordinaires
Dans ces derniers temps, un malheureux fut amené devant nos tribunaux, dont le front était illustré d’un rare et singulier tatouage : Pas de chance ! Il portait ainsi au-dessus de ses yeux l’étiquette de sa vie, comme un livre son titre, et l’interrogatoire prouva que ce bizarre écriteau était cruellement véridique. Il y a, dans l’histoire littéraire, des destinées analogues, de vraies damnations, – des hommes qui portent le mot guignon écrit en caractères mystérieux dans les plis sinueux de leur front. L’Ange aveugle de l’expiation s’est emparé d’eux et les fouette à tour de bras pour l’édification des autres.
