Madeleine L'EngleQui plussait, plus se tait. French, you know. The more a man knows, the less he talks.
Madeleine L'EngleI saw Eternity the other night, Like a great ring of pure and endless light, All calm, as it was bright, And round beneath it, Time, in hours, days, years, Driven by the spheres, Like a vast shadow moved, in which the world And all her train were hurled.
