📖 Quote about aigle
J'aime mieux, en soucis et pensers élevés, Être un aigle abattu d'un grand coup de tonnerre Qu'un cygne vieillissant ès jardins cultivés.
I would rather, with elevated concerns and thoughts, be an eagle brought down by a great clap of thunder than an aging swan in cultivated gardens.
