他所获得的种种荣誉反映出他所受到的严峻考验及勇气：多个紫心勋章，带有象征英勇V字母的青铜星章，银星勋章以及法国政府所颁发的一项享有极高荣誉的战争十字勋章。

You have my blessings dear one and Gaia sends you her love and compassion despite her own ordeals.

你们正在接受我的祝福，盖亚也在向你们发出她的爱怜。尽管她自己的前方充满坎坷。

The days before these ordeals take place are spent in cramming your mind with mystic formulae and indigestible dates& unpalatable diets, until you wish that books and science and you were buried in the depths of the sea.

就在这些考验降临前夕，你的脑子里面塞的全都是神秘的公式和令人难以消化的椰枣&面对味道不佳的食品，你真想把自己连同书本和科学一起葬入大海深处。
