“If the French language ceased to be heard, and our literature to be understood, if the names of Corneille, Bossuet, and of Racine … no longer provoked a divine shiver in people’s minds … and nevertheless Le Nôtre’s park continued to be maintained according to tradition, the essence and the quality of the spirit of France, the purity and the perfection of the intellectual instrument divided among the great geniuses of our line would appear in Versailles in all their brilliance …” Lucien Corpechot
