Dame souris… (French)
Hello, here is a lengthy but quite easy poem: I know… Verlaine again. A really good poet… with his highs and lows in life. 🙂 Edit: I changed the text considering the points raised by Carlos.
Le bûcheron et la mort (French)

Few quotes in French Gregg
Hello! Due to the dearth of French Gregg ressources, I try to add few ones of my own. For the moment, it’s just a test for I never posted any picture. So, the first is from Nicholas Machiavel, the next three ones are from Swâmi Prajñânpad, a Indian wise man I like a lot and…
