Les Écuries d'Augias, 1842. The Augean Stables. Se faire recureur, pour un hèros superbe, C'est, par Hercule, un goût difficile à chanter. Mais comme le dit un proverbe: D'ECOUTS et des couleurs on ne peut disputer. (Calembourg inédit de M. Delessert) To become a scourer, for a superb hero, It is, by Hercules, a taste difficult to sing. But as a proverb says: LISTENING and colours cannot be argued with. (Unpublished pun by Monsieur Delessert). From L'Histoire ancienne.
