Le bûcheron et la mort (French)
Hello, I prepared this little poem days ago and now I decide to post it. (It’s lighter than the title suggests). It’s from Nicolas Boileau who wrote very sensitive and thoughtful texts. I thought to write his name at the end, the name of the author is not difficult but the title of the book…
