1898: I would like my love to die | Samuel Beckett
"Je voudrais que mon amour meure"
Samuel Beckett
je voudrais que mon amour meure
qu’il pleuve sur le cimetière
et les ruelles où je vais
pleurant celle qui crut m’aimer
Translated from the French by the poet
"I would like my love to die"
Samuel Beckett
I would like my love to die
and the rain to be falling on the graveyard
and on me walking the streets
mourning the first and last to love me
