Signalé dans Chillon, a literary guide édité par Patrick Vincent - extrait du chapitre 5 p.152: "A crowded day, thought Edith, grateful for the silence of her companion, as they walked slowly away from the little town, along the water's edge. The castle, dour, grim, a rebarbative silhouette, a corrective to the dazzle of the water, occupied a spit of land which advanced into the lake as if to impede further progress. Soon it would obliterate the sun, and its massive shape would darken and seen to advance towards them. Instinctively they stopped, unwilling to witness this ritual extinction, and turned to a parapet, over which they leaned. The day was very slowly losing its colour, the blue of the sky whitening in that neutral hour which signifies the end of the afternoon. The sadness that comes with the approach of evening stole over Edith."
