Extra Information Epigraphs:
1. Dans le lointain, mêlées au son des cloches, on entend des voix... / C'est le pélèrinage qui descend de la chapelle Ste. Catherine, en chantant un cantique.
3. “Sonne le tocsin... De tous côtés des gens accourent affolés. / Rapidement sur la place, une foule compacte se forme.... / Maintenant toutes les cloches de la ville sonnent. / ... Le tumulte est à son comble; on crie “où est le feu?” / ... Fausse alerte! le feu, déjà, est éteint. La foule se désagrège, / et chacun s'en retourne... Le silence succède à tant de bruit,... / .... dans le lointain vibre encore le son des cloches....”
