A little bit Port-Tarascon translation.
Rester au lit sans dormir,
attendre sans voir venir,
aimer sans avoir plaisir,
sont trois choses qui font mourir.
Alphonse Daudet. Port-Tarascon, Livre treiséme; chapitre III.
To stay in bed and no to sleep,
to wait and yet see nothing peep,
to love and yet have no delight
are things to kill a man outright. (Translated by Henry James)
Estar en cama sin dormir;
esperar y no ver venir;
amar, pero nunca fruir;
son tres cosas que hacen morir. (A Modest proposal by me)
