Vrai, je trouve moins ridicule la naïveté du bonhomme, qui n’a pas besoin de savoir l’histoire de France pour ensemencer son champ, que la vanité dindonne de ceux qui veulent, au nom du patriotisme, se déguiser en bouffons, pour amuser les étrangers à nos dépens.
Rien ne m’est plus odieux que leur bavardage, où s’étale, bouffonne et dindonne, une prétention à l’esprit, au savoir, à l’originalité de la pensée, qui n’est le plus souvent que l’apanage des ignorants et des sots.
