I've been rereading Durrell's Alexandria Quartet (as one does) and came
across this passage mid-way through the first novel in the Quartet,
JUSTINE. The as-yet-unnamed narrator of JUSTINE is quoting a passage from
her diary in which Justine quotes the poet Laforgue's Moralités
Légendaires--a passage she first learned from her French lover Arnauti. So
this got me curious about Laforgue, and it turns out that it comes from his
riff on Hamlet, which I reproduce (with a translation from the French) in
the attached screenshot.
Love to all of you!

We are reaching out to each of you today, looking for 133 more people
to contribute now, in any amount. It may seem that a donation of $5 or $10
or $25 or $30 would not make a difference, but it will. It will speak
loudly to UT about the size of the community that supports Camp Shakespeare,
and you can be sure it will speak to Doc and Robin in the very particular
love language of helping them find resources to keep this amazing,
life-changing, life-affirming program going. Click on this link
