Un empereur changea les mœurs des Chinois en modifiant la langue, voilà qui me paraît fort possible. Il y a une force du langage, mais il faut savoir où l'appliquer […].
An emperor changed the customs of the Chinese by modifying the language, which seems very possible to me. There is power in language, but you have to know where to apply it […].
