Quotes[edit]
- Quand vous serez bien vieille, au soir, à la chandelle,
Assise auprès du feu, dévidant et filant,
Direz, chantant mes vers, en vous émerveillant:
"Ronsard me célébrait du temps que j'étais belle."- When you are very old, at evening, by candelight,
Sitting near the fire, spooling and spinning the wool,
You will say, in wonder, as you sing my verses,
"Ronsard praised me in the days when I was beautiful."- "Quand vous serez bien vieille, au soir, à la chandelle", Sonnets pour Hélène (1578), ll. 1-4.
- When you are very old, at evening, by candelight,
- Cueillez dès aujourd'hui les roses de la vie.
- Gather today the roses of life.
- "Quand vous serez bien vieille, au soir, à la chandelle," l. 14.
- Gather today the roses of life.
