'La Transcription Du Soir De Boston'. (Translation) .
Les liseurs de 'La Transcription du Soir de Boston'
Oscillent au vent comme un champ de ble mur.
Quand le soir se ranime vaguement dans la rue,
En reveillant les appetits de la vie de quelques-uns
Et aux autres en apportant la 'Transcription du Soir de Boston',
Je monte sur les marches et je sonne a la porte, en me tournant
Avec lassitude, comme on ferait un signe de tete d'adieu a
La Rochefoucauld,
Si la rue etait le temps et lui a l'extremite de la rue,
Et je dis, 'Ma cousine Harriet, voici 'La Transcription du Soir de Boston'.
-' The Boston Evening Transcript'. T. S. Eliot (1885-1965) .
For many, especially older people, the arrival of 'The Boston Evening Transcript' is a highlight of the day: something they could not do without. When evening comes, some people might think of going out to nightclubs to satisfy 'the appetites of life', but the poet just delivers the newspaper to his cousin.
La Rochefoucauld was a French writer with a pessimistic outlook who is known for his 'Maximes'.
