victor hugo, Les Contemplations, MorsJe vis cette faucheuse. Elle Ã©tait dans son champ. Elle allait ? grands pas moissonnant et fauchant, Noir squelette laissant passer le crÃ©puscule. Dans l'ombre oÃ¹ l'on dirait que tout tremble et recule, L'homme suivait des yeux les lueurs de la faulx.Et les triomphateurs sous les arcs triomphaux Tombaient ; elle changeait en dÃ©sert Babylone, Le trÃ´ne en Ã©chafaud et l'Ã©chafaud en trÃ´ne, Les roses en fumier, les enfants en oiseaux,L'or en cendre, et les yeux des mÃ¨res en ruisseaux. Et les femmes criaient : - Rends-nous ce petit Ãªtre. Pour le faire mourir, pourquoi l'avoir fait naÃ®tre ? -Ce n'Ã©tait qu'un sanglot sur terre, en haut, en bas ; Des mains aux doigts osseux sortaient des noirs grabats ; Un vent froid bruissait dans les linceuls sans nombre ; Les peuples Ã©perdus semblaient sous la faulx sombre Un troupeau frissonnant qui dans l'ombre s'enfuit ; Tout Ã©tait sous ses pieds deuil, Ã©pouvante et nuit.DerriÃ¨re elle, le front baignÃ© de douces flammes, Un ange souriant portait la gerbe d'Ã¢mes.

Those three chords were part of my life - G, F, Bb - yeh, it is, it is, and I can't help noticing it. But there have been other things nearly as close to it which people haven't noticed, other things we have done.

Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, until the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means.
