Heartto heartIn the lonely cold old parkTwo figureshave just passed.Their eyes are dead, their lips areslack,We hardly hear their words.In the lonely coldold parkTwo ghosts evoked the past.- Remember ourold ecstasy?- But why remember it?- Your heartbeats faster at my name ?Still see me in your dreams? -No.Ah! the days of blissful joyWhen our lipstouched ! - Perhaps.- The sky was blue and hope wasgreat!- Hope has fled, beaten, to the black sky.Theywandered like this through the wild grassAnd only the nightheard their words.Set to music by Debussyhttps://youtu.be/L6ubmOh3bfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 It depends of course on the criteria for admission. The authors who are there were chosen for"Major authors whose works and commitments defend the values of republican justice and tolerance: Victor Hugo, Émile Zola and Alexandre Dumas"not simply for literary merit as such..
