I have often wept there, I have never laughed there

about

From the writings of Honoré de Balzac

lyrics

“I have often wept there, I have never laughed there. More than once I have felt involuntary terror as I heard over my head the dull whirring of the wings of some hastening wood-pigeon. The ground there is damp. You have to watch out for lizards, vipers and frogs which disport themselves freely in the wildness of nature. Above all you must not be afraid of the cold, for in a few moments you can feel a cloak of ice being placed on your shoulders like the Commander’s hand on Don Juan’s neck. One evening I shivered there. The wind had turned an old rusty weathercock whose creaking was like a moan uttered by the house, just as I was finishing a pretty gruesome tale in explanation of this monument of grief. I came back to my hotel, a prey to melancholy thoughts.”
