Laugh, and the world laughs with you,
Weep, and you weep alone,
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth;
But has trouble enough of its own.Ella Wheeler Wilcox, “Solitude”Riez: le monde est ton compère;
Pleurez: vous voilà solitaire.
Car ce monde affligé
Requiert hilarité
Connaissant trop bien la misère.
