I say: ‘For all I know,
Wait, and let Time go by,
Till my change come.’ – ‘Just so,’
The star says: ‘So mean I: –
So mean I.'”

"Nous nous aimerons tant que nous tairons nos mots, en nous tendant la main, quand nous nous reverrons. Vous serez ombragée par d'anciens rameaux sur le banc que je sais où nous assoierons. Donc nous nous assoierons sur ce banc tous deux seuls... D'un long moment, ô mon amie, vous n'oserez... Que vous me serez douce et que je tremblerai..." (F. Jammes in Nous nous aimerons tant) Chaudfontaine (B)
"There was a King of Liang -- a king of wondrous might -- Who kept an open palace, where music charmed the night -- Since he was Lord of Liang a thousand years have flown, And of the towers he builded yon ruin stands alone. There reigns a heavy silence; gaunt weeds through windows pry, And down the streets of Liang old echoes, wailing, die." (L.A. Cranmer-Byng in Desolation) Herstal (B)
