    Of serious weeds in a comic lily plot....”

    “I never rebel so much against France as not to regard Paris with a friendly eye; she has had my heart since my childhood.... I love her tenderly, even to her warts and her spots. I am French only by this great city: the glory of France, and one of the noblest ornaments of the world.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
