" Tu as le bonjour du peintre de quatre-vingts ans qui habite au sixième, et qui a été littéralement malade tout le temps qu'il t'a vu planter ton chevalet devant sa porte et cueillir ton sujet sous son nez. Dire qu'il habite la maison depuis plus d'un demi-siècle, montant et descendant chaque jour l'escalier, sans qu'il lui soit jamais venu à l'esprit de regarder à travers en levant la tête ou en guettant le retour d'un être aimé dans la cage..."
