“Oh, l’amour, tu sais—
Le corps, l’amour, la mort,
ces trois ne font qu’un.
Car le corps, c’est la maladie et la volupté,
et c’est lui qui fait la mort, oui,
ils sont charnels tous deux,
l’amour et la mort,
et voilà leur terreur
et leur grande magie!










"Oh, love, you know,
body, love, death,
these three are one.
Because the body is disease and pleasure,
and the body is the source of death,
yes, they are both carnal,
love and death,
and that's their terror
and their great magic!
(Thomas Mann - Magic Mountain)
