Additional quotes by Henri Barbusse

Tu pleures, tant ta peine est grande,
Dans un désert, sans rien savoir…
Et moi, debout auprès du soir,
Je suis triste comme une offrande

I have heard the annunciation of whatever finer things are to come. Through me has passed, without staying me in my course, the Word which does not lie, and which, said over again, will satisfy.
