It is not because the shop window glitters
that people are happy.
Many glances resigned
under the rainy trees.
In Beaubourg clouds of illusions
behind the statues of painful copper.
If there is will of indifference,
useless to tame the children.

Yo Yann,

Don't try to tame the children, let them run wild in front of Notre Dame.  It's better that way.

I have many good memories of Paris.  I still have a foutain pen I bought there about 15 years ago.

This was awesome.

I've never left the country.


This made me want to see the world.

Fall in love early, fall in love often.

Very profound, dear Yann. I have never been in Paris, one day I hope to discover her secrets!

Love,
Margherita

hi Margherita, You have to visit Paris, it is a wonderful town even though I wouldn't live here, cause I would suffocate morally and phisically....
