I received a gift from a friend-a bit of a poem by Louis Aragon-and thought I'd share:

...Un jour pourtant un jour viendra couleur d'orange
Un jour de palme un jour de feuillages au front
Un jour d'épaule nue où les gens s'aimeront
Un jour comme un oiseau sur la plus haute branche...



(Our combined efforts at translation:

...Yet a day a day will come the color of orange
A day of palm a day of leaves upon the brow
A day of naked shoulder where people will love
A day like a bird upon the highest bough...)
