Marseille, 1808 - Valmondois, 1879
『中国を旅すれば』：（14）ポルカ 中国の人たちってのは飛び抜けて目ざとく、しかもあれこれ考えるたちで、七面鳥っていうとても沈着冷静な動物がそうした胆汁気質にもかかわらず、足を代わる代わる小刻みにひくひくさせてとても楽しそうにしているのに気づいて、ある日その種の娯楽に打ち込んでいるこの家禽の真似をしてみようと思い立ったのだった。爾来、ある踊りの原形が、北京やあたり一帯の超一流の上流階級の間でたちまちもてはやされるようになったってわけ、だけど同じように中国的な気まぐれのせいで、良識と文法に反し、また七面鳥のほうは仲間内で「七面鳥踊り」っていう洗礼名をつけて呼ぼうとしてたにもかかわらず、この踊りはなぜか「ポルカ」って名づけられちゃったんだって <JOURNEY TO CHINA>: (14) THE POLKA: The Chinese people, an eminently observant and wise people, having noticed that the turkey-cock an animal of very phlegmatic temperament, seemed however to take the greatest pleasure in [enticing?] by turns each foot with a small jerky movement, one day took it into their heads to imitate this poultry in that type of amusement. Thence the origin of a dance which immediately caused delight in the best society of Peking and its suburb, but as a result of an equally Chinese whim this dance was named the Polka whereas good sense, grammar and the turkeys called for themselves to be baptised with the name of turkey-cocka.
