"C'est bien ainsi qu'il vous eût apparu, dans cette soirée du 5 octobre 1628, [...] cherchant à deviner, et fermant sa bouche, éteignant ses yeux de peur qu'on ne le devine, c'est ainsi qu'il vous eût apparu, l'homme sur qui reposaient les destinées de la France, le ministre impénétrable que notre grand historien Michelet appelle le Sphinx Rouge."
"It is exactly how you would have seen him, on the evening of October 5, 1628, [...] attempting to figure it all out, and sealing his lips, banishing the light in his eyes in fear that he would be found out, it is exactly how you would have seen him, the man upon which the fate of France depended, the impenetrable minister that our great historian Michelet called the Red Sphinx."
-Alexandre Dumas, Le Comte de Moret
