Additional quotes by François Coppée

Translation: The only happiness to which we may pretend
On earth, is to believe, and not to comprehend.

(Et) l’unique bonheur auquel on peut prétendre
En ce monde, est de croire et non pas de comprendre.

Oh! comme les oiseaux doivent mourir l’hiver!
Pourtant, lorsque viendra le temps des violettes,
Nous ne trouverons pas leurs délicats squelettes
Dans le gazon d’avril, où nous irons courir.
Est-ce que les oiseaux se cachent pour mourir?
