Fragments

Montesquieu (1689-1755), Pensées et fragments inédits, Tome II (Bordeaux: Imprimerie de G. Gounouilhou, 1901), p. 39:
Je suis naturellement curieux de tous les fragments des ouvrages des anciens auteurs; comme, sur les rivages, on aime à trouver les débris des naufrages que la mer a laissés.
Translated by Henry C. Clark:
I am naturally curious about all fragments from the works of ancient authors, just as one likes to find the debris from shipwrecks that the sea has left on the beach.
