The etymology: Saint Thomas More’ Utopos “More est plutot petit ; démarche incertaine, empêtrée. Il porte une robe chiffonée, mal ajustée ; l’épaule droite est plus haute que la gauche. Les yeux gris, petits, mais beaux, jettent des regards lourds et tendres. More souffre de l’estomac, se nourrit seulement de légumes. Il boit de l’eau, quelquefois, de la petite bière, jamais du vin. Même lorsqu’il exerce de hautes fonctions, il mène une existence discrète. Duveau. Georges. ‘Le père de l’utopie, Thomas More’. in Sociologie de l’utopie, et autres essais .
