History: this verse is taken from the poem "The Glory of the Word" published by Pierre Quillard (1864-1912) in his collection La Lyre héroïque et dolente in 1897. An anarchist, defender of the Armenian people and fervent dreyfusard, this playwright and journalist shared common convictions with Emile Gallé, to whom he dedicated several of his poems such as "Cristal" (1897).
