-
Very well, what will you be showing us?
-
Rameau's "Night," Madam Contess.
-
Oh, that should be magnificent.
-
Excuse me!
-
Who's that little boy that you've put by himself?
Is he being punished?
-
-That one there?
-Yes.
-
That one there is a special case.
-
May I?
-
Oh night
-
Come and bring
-
To the earth
-
The enchanting calm
-
Of your mystery
-
The shadow that goes with you
-
Is so sweet
-
So sweet is the sound
-
Of your voices singing hope
-
Your power is so great
-
It transforms all into a dream
-
Oh night
-
Oh leave on earth again
-
The enchanting calm
-
Of your mystery
-
The shadow that goes with you
-
Is so sweet
-
What beauty is greater
-
Than that of a dream?
-
What truth
-
Is sweeter
-
Than hope?
-
It was always through Morhange's
eyes that I measured myself.
-
I read many things there,
all at the same time:
-
Pride, joy at being forgiven,
-
But even more-
and this was very new for him,
-
A kind of gratitude.
