L`esprit De L`escalier Poem by Jayashantha Jayawardhana

L`esprit De L`escalier



It was late, a moment too late,
When it occurred to me:
What I should`ve told her instead,
While wandering down the lea.

*The English equivalent of the French expression
‘l`esprit de l`escalier’ is something like ‘staircase wit’.
