About this text
Théophile Gautier († 1872): public-domain work. The text is that of Wikisource (Lemerre, Paris, 1898). Its transcription, by Wikisource volunteers (contribution history), is published under the CC BY-SA 4.0 licence; so are this reading page and the EPUB file. Erostrate has not changed a single word: only the layout and the division into pages are ours.
