| Reverse lettering | NICE UNE BAIE QUI VAUT LES PLUS CÉLÈBRES DES COLLINES RICHES DE DÉTAILS ET D'EXCITATIONS, LA VIEILLE VILLE QUI EST UN CONCENTRÉ D'ANTIQUE CIVILISATION MÉDITERRANÉENNE, DANS SA BONHOMIE DE CHAQUE JOUR... SA TÉNACITÉ DE CHAQUE SIÈCLE; LA VILLE NOUVELLE QUI ME PLAÎT PAR SA RICHESSE POINT HONTEUSE D'ELLE-MÊME ET SON ABSENCE DE MORGUE. ET PLUS QUE TOUT UNE SAVEUR DE LA VIE EN CHAQUE COIN RÉPANDUE. TOUT CELA NE GÉMIT PAS D'ÊTRE NÉ; TOUT CELA, DANS LA BONNE CONSCIENCE ET COMME RELIGIEUSEMENT, ATTESTE LA DOUCEUR DE LA VIE JULES ROMAINS. |
