La Vie est Breve (Print for Sale)
Only a couple of these left!
The words are from a poem by George Louis Palmella Busson du Maurier (6 March 1834 – 8 October 1896) was a French-born British cartoonist (Punch) and author.
PEU DE CHOSE
La vie est vaine,
Un peu d’amour,
Un peu de haine,
Et puis—Bonjour!
La vie est brève:
Un peu d’espoir,
Un peu de rève
Et puis—Bon soir!
For the non-francophone out there, its roughly this;
Life is short
A little hope, a little dream
And then - Good-night!
The image was originally called (in my head) Le Flâneur. Flâneur is a word I love, and Flânerie is one of my favourite pass-times.
