The Prisoner

Years ago when reading a biography of the Marquis de Sade I discovered two interesting bits of info: (1) While he was imprisoned in the Bastille, just before the French Revolution, he was incarcerated in cell 6 and known to the guards as Monsieur Numero Six; (2) He was a descendant of Laura de Noves (1310–48), whom some say was Petrarch's Laura of the sonnets.

Ceci n'est pas un seing.
