Past Quotes

J'ai dit à mon cœur, à mon faible cœur:
N'est-ce point assez de tant de tristesse?
Et ne vois-tu pas que changer sans cesse,
C'est à chaque pas trouver la douleur?

Il m'a répondu: Ce n'est point assez,
Ce n'est point assez de tant de tristesse;
Et ne vois-tu pas que changer sans cesse
Nous rend doux et chers les chagrins passés?

J'ai dit à mon cœur, à mon faible cœur:
N'est-ce point assez d'aimer sa maîtresse?
Et ne vois-tu pas que changer sans cesse,
C'est perdre en désirs le temps du bonheur?

Il m'a répondu: Ce n'est point assez,
Ce n'est point assez d'aimer sa maîtresse;
Et ne vois-tu pas que changer sans cesse
Nous rend doux et chers les plaisirs passés?
