Top 4 François de Malherbe Quotes

But she bloomed on earth, where the most beautiful things have the saddest destiny;
And Rose, she lived as live the roses, for the space of a morning.

Mais elle était du monde, où les plus belles choses
Ont le pire destin;
Et Rose, elle a vécu ce que vivent les roses,
L'espace d'un matin.

To will what God doth will, that is the only science
That gives us any rest.

Our days and nights
Have sorrows woven with delights.
