A belated Happy New Year to all and I know I'm probably subscribing to
the wrong forum, but I couldn't help not share this little gem with you
to kick off the year:
La douleur est un fruit, Dieu ne le fait pas croitre
Sur la branche trop faible encor pour le porter
L'Enfance, Victor Hugo, Les Contemplations (1856)
To paraphrase - stress is a fruit God let's not grow on any branch too
frail to bear it.
I don't know if Acer's lurking out there, but I believe he owes me a
pint of Pernod, having challenged me to find another Arb reference in
Les Miserables some 2 year's ago.
I think Victor Hugo in general is close enough - perhaps just a half
then.
Best wishes
Adam
