En cette curieuse région du Cotentin, toute bruissante des verdoyantes ramées, où chaque chaumière se tapit mystérieusement au détour d’une cache, où chaque lopin s’embroussaille de genêt, de houx et d’épine, ou se clôt de murets de pierres sèches, symboles du droit de possession — et du goût du repli — les vieilles légendes s’étaient fidèlement transmise…
Un pauvre Bûcheron tout couvert de ramée, Sous le faix du fagot aussi bien que des ans Gémissant et courbé marchait à pas pesants, Et tâchait de gagner sa chaumine enfumée.
