L¿an 1474, le 6 mars, un lundi, quatre heures avant le jour, naquit, au château de Caprese, dans le territoire d¿Arezzo, un enfant du sexe masculin qui reçut sur les fonts de baptême le nom de Michel-Angelo. Singulière prédestination, et qüil est presque impossible d¿attribuer au hasard : Sanzio ! Buonarotti ! les deux plus grands peintres de l¿Italie et du monde ont reçu tous les deux, en naissant, le nom d¿un ange ! et, rapprochement plus bizarre encore : Raphaël n¿est-il pas l¿ange de la tendresse, de la pitié et de l¿amour ? Michel n¿est-il pas l¿ange de la justice, de la force, de l¿extermination ?

Au reste, l¿idiotisme a un grand avantage sur la friponnerie : on voit toujours assez tôt que l¿on a un domestique idiot ; on s¿aperçoit toujours trop tard que l¿on a un domestique fripon.Théodore avait ses protégés ; ma table est toujours d¿une assez large circonférence pour que deux ou trois amis viennent s¿y asseoir sans y être attendus. Ils ne trouvent pas toujours bon dîner, mais ils trouvent toujours bon visage. Eh bien, les jours où le dîner était bon selon le goût de M. Théodore, M. Théodore prévenait ceux de mes amis ou de mes connaissances qüil préférait aux autres.
