Additional quotes by Honorat de Bueil, seigneur de Racan

Et vous, eaux qui dormez sur des lits de pavots,
Vous qui toujours suivez vous-mêmes fugitives...

As we rise higher, so less safe our lot;

And sooner the wind's rage o'erwhelms the roof
Of the king's palace, than the shepherd's cot.

It is never too soon nor too late
To taste of the pleasures of life.
