Hommage à S.E.F.T.
"At dawn tomorrow, when the plains grow bright,
I'll go. You wait for me: I know you do. ...
I'll walk along, eyes fixed on innermost thoughts--
The world around I'll neither hear nor see-- ...
And when I come, I'll place at your shrine
Some flowering heather and a holly branch."
(Victor Hugo)
