Wandering through Paris, in one of the books, there's a piece taken from Petals of Twilight by Charles Francois Guillermot. Is this a real guy? Is that a book? Poem? Is it from a real source?

Perhaps you mean this?
Quote:
Petals of Twilight
by Charles Francois Guillermot
... And it is told that he made his way through their streets at night, crawling
through their many windows and crouching in their gardens, moving through the
sewers beneath their cobbled roads and slipping over their railings.
Watched by their cats and the roosting pidgeons of their city, yet wary of
their slumbering dogs, he went. They would not see him, nor wake as he drew
near, but would only shudder, softly calling out the names of their gods in
sleep.
Restless, they tossed as he passed under the window like an errant lover
fleeing dawn.
And by morning light he was gone, away from that place, and moved on to
another world.

STL doesn't seem to know if it's real, and Googling doesn't seem to show up much, but that doesn't mean it isn't real. Try searching a poetry database or something. Or find somebody who would know. It wouldn't be the first DX prose to be fictional (Jacob's Shadow isn't real, either)

Wow, awesome site, thanks Z. That's exactly the quote I was talking about. Anyway, I have since found out that that's <i>not</i> a real author or book, but thanks again.
