[edit] Neutrality?

"choice in every sense: utterly correct, balanced, exquisite in rhyme" - biased? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.108.232.88 (talk) 02:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Inaccessible?

"Perhaps the best worth recording of all these stories is one of the Vieux Colombier quartet, which tells how Molière, while Racine and Boileau were exercising their wits upon le bonhomme or le bon (by both which titles La Fontaine was familiarly known), remarked to a bystander, Nos beaux esprits ont beau faire, ils n'effaceront pas le bonhomme. They have not." - If this story is truly worth repeating, it should possibly be repeated with an added translation into English, this being the English portion of wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.222.135.93 (talk) 01:24, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
