                     Here a gaping mouth of the Devil represents
                     a sphere of a different and more terrifying
                     kind. An enthusiastic Devil welcomes King,
                     Bishop, and merchant alike to the flames. Where precisely Hell was located was, of
                     course, the subject of debate: Marlowe's Doctor
                     Faustus urges Mephistophilis to tell him where
                     it is, and Mephistophilis replies that it is
                     within the lower elements of earth itself -- but
                     at the same time is everywhere that is not
                     heaven: Faustus: Tell me, where is that place that
                     men call hell?Mephistophilis: Under the heavens.Faustus:          
                                  
                                  
                               Ay, but
                     whereabouts?Mephistophilis: Within the bowels of these
                     elements,Where we are tortured and remain
                     forever.Hell hath no limits, nor is
                     circumscribedIn one self place, for where we are is
                     hell,And where hell is there must we ever
                     be.And, to be short, when all the world
                     dissolves,And every creature shall be purified,All places shall be hell that is not
                     heaven.Faustus: I think hell's a fable.Mephistophilis: Aye, think so still, till
                     experience change thy mind.        (2.1.117-28)
                     
                       Bâillement
                     : toujours mettre la main devant sa bouche.
                     Réprimer son bâillement quand l'on
                     vous parle. C'est par ailleurs une façon
                     pratique de ne pas imposer son haleine douteuse
                     aux autres. Il est sans doute de très
                     mauvais goût d'exposer au regard
                     extérieur sa cavité buccale (tout
                     comme d'autres cavités d'ailleurs).   |
