‘It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.’
A Tale of Two Cities
He sleeps. Although his fate was very strange,
He lived. He died when he had no longer his angel.

Il dort. Quoique le sort fut pour lui bien etrange,
Il vivait. Il mourut quand il n'eut plus son ange.

Comme la nuit se fait lorsque le jour s'en va.
"Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo

"Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody."

"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."
