QUOTE : There is a line in Verlaine I shall not recall again,<br />There is a street close by forbidden to my feet,<br />There's a mirror that's seen me for the very last time,<br />There is a door that I have locked till the end of the world.<br />Among the books in my library (I have them before me)<br />There are some that I shall never open now.<br />This summer I complete my fiftieth year;<br />Death is gnawing at me ceaselessly.
