Lu sur l'excellentissime blog Red Mug Blue Linen de Laurent ces lignes de Thomas Mann, parues en 1948 :
"Needless to say, our formal goodbye was cool and reserved. It scarcely amounted to exchanged looks or a handshake. In the course of our young lives we had parted and met again too often for handshakes to have become our usual practice."
Thomas Mann (Docteur Faust,1948)
