Quotation from Dunnett

[edit | edit source]

CM 1.2 “So often, in the past, had he heard Lymond use this technique. The graceful exordium with its poetic and classical allusions: in this instance to Colonia Copia Lugdunum , sometime shelter of Popes and Kings; home of wisdom, of poetry, of beauty; birthplace of Delorme and foster-parent of Rabelais; fount of learned men—M. Grolier; M. Gueraud the Receveur; M. Aneau the Rector beside him.” Vintage p. 20, Kindle loc. 527
