In literature
« Jeanne était au pain sec dans le cabinet noir,
Pour un crime quelconque, et, manquant au devoir,
J’allai voir la proscrite en pleine forfaiture,
Et lui glissai dans l’ombre un pot de confiture
Contraire aux lois. »Source: Wiktionnaire (CC BY-SA 4.0). Recording: WikiLucas00 (Lyon (France)), Lingua Libre / Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0).
