Excerpt from Bourru, Soldat de Vauquois
Bourru! Mais vous le connaissez bien; c'est ce soldat que vous avez rencontré l'autre jour dans la rue. Il allait en permission à Bligny, un village de Bourgogne, et, ma foi, profitait de son passage à Paris pour examiner la Ville Lumière symbole de cette civilisation qu'il défend depuis deux ans, le fusil à la main: Ah on voyait bien qu'il est cultivateur vigneron comme le dit son livret militaire; il marchait lentement, avec précaution, se méfiant des mille dangers que récèlent vos rues.
