How Dear is the Fatherland to All Well-born Hearts! Farewell, land of culture and phosphorus cigarette-lighters... Farewell! ... farewell ungrateful land who drives away your children, who exiles them, who persecutes them... farewell! I take my penates, industry and capital elsewhere... but I leave you my heart... take care not to lose it. (A tous les cœurs bien nés que la patrie est chère! Adieu pays des arts et des briquets phosphoriques ... Adieu terre ingrate qui chasse tes enfans, qui les exile, qui les persécute… adieu ! … je porte ailleurs mes pénates mon industrie et mes capitaux … mais je te laisse mon cœur … prends garde de le perdre…), number 96 from the series Caricaturana
