Je n'avois point d'épée, car j'avoue que je l'aurois tirée, et c'eût été folie
At this period he was building his famous "Folie" at Neuilly, and his wife had just bought a set of feathers to crown the tester of her bed, the price of which had been too great for even the queen to pay. Bodard owned the magnificent mansion in the place Vendome, which the fermier-general, Dange, had lately been forced to leave.
I dangle myself at the end of a single wire on the brink of eternity, crying defiance to the winds! C'était de la folie the madness of battle. Far below me I could see an occasional spectator running like a rabbit, grotesquely waving his arms. "Oh, yes, he is doubtless clever, this Power," I cry in my pride. "But he is, after all, nothing but a buzzard.
In order therefore to reach the corner of the Rue Merlin, it occurred to him to take the Rue de la Folie Regnault, which winds round in the rear of the prison, farther on.

The lais of Marie de France were written in England, and the greater number of the romances composing the matière de Bretagne seem to have passed from England to France through the medium of Anglo-Norman. Asaph had stamped upon them. One Folie Tristan was composed in England in the last years of the 12th century.
"Fancy that they put forth all their life And never know how with the soul it fares." Whatever can be said against Boswell that cannot be said. Of this inner wisdom, this quietness of thought, this "folie des grandeurs" of the soul, he had a thousand times as much as Macaulay.
On the one hand, the only lofty houses were far away, at the point where the Rue St. Maur intersects the Rue de la Roquette; while, on the other, they stood at the corners of the Rue Merlin and the Rue de la Folie Regnault, so that it was almost impossible to distinguish anything of the execution even from the best placed windows.
