Felicity - Translation Pierre CORNEILLE - Félicité




All Mankind’s felicity
stays prey to instability,
and may in no time fall from grace, -
as with glass, shattered, none replace, -
they share the same fragility




Félicité

 

 

Toute votre félicité
Sujette à l’instabilité
En moins de rien tombe par terre :
Et comme elle a l’éclat du verre
Elle en a la fragilité



Polyeucte  IV, 2

Pierre CORNEILLE 1606_1684
