    • 2005, Feliu Formosa, Ròmul el Gran:
      Però la impressió general és que ens trobem en un galliner, malgrat que a primer terme a la dreta hi ha unes quantes cadires de jardí de formes elegants i esveltes, que han conegut dies millors. Sovint l'escena és envaïda per una fumera fosca que ve d'un edifici baix. La consergeria se suposa que és a l'esquerra, vora l'angle dret de la vil·la.
      But the general impression is that we find ourselves in a poultry yard, despite the fact that at the first boundary stone on the right there are some elegantly- and sveltly-shaped garden chairs which have known better days. Often the scene is invaded by a dark puff of smoke which comes from a low building. The caretaker's lodge one supposes is on the left, near the right angle of the villa.
