- The blue bird. “I have in my heart a blue bird, A charming creature, So cute as its belt. Not the thickness of a hair. He needs blood to feed him. For a long time, I made a game of giving him his food: The little birds eat little. But without letting anything show, In my heart he made, the traitor, A hole as wide as a hand. And its beak as thin as a blade, Continuing its path, Entered me to the depths of my soul!” (Alphonse Daudet)
- The invitation to travel. “My child, my sister, Think of sweetness. To go there and live together! Love at leisure, Love and die. To the country that resembles you! Wet suns. Of these blurred skies. For my mind have the charms. So mysterious. From your traitorous eyes. Shining through their tears. There, everything is order and beauty, Luxury, calm and voluptuousness (Charles Baudelaire)
- I’m lost. “I’m lost, you see. I’m drowned. Flooded with love. I don’t know if I’m alive anymore. If I eat. If I breathe. If I speak. I know I love you“(Alfred de Musset)
