N fait souvent du bien pour pouvoir impunément faire du mal.
La Rochefoucauld, Réflexions.
HERE'S a joy without canker or cark,
There's a pleasure eternally new,
'Tis to gloat on the glaze and the mark
Of china that's ancient and blue;
Unchipp'd all the centuries through
It has pass'd, since the chime of it rang,
And they fashion'd it, figure and hue,
In the reign of the Emperor Hwang.
Andrew Lang, Ballades in Blue China.
