François Villon citáty

François Villon bol francúzsky renesančný básnik, zlodej a povaľač. Jeho pravé meno bolo François de Montcorbier alebo François des Loges. Meno Villon si podľa všetkého osvojil od svojho strýka a dobrodinca, parížskeho kaplána Guillauma de Villon, pravdepodobne z vďačnosti.

V jeho balade „Ballade des Dames du Temps Jadis“ sa nachádza otázka „Mais où sont les neiges d'antan?“ , ktorá sa v rôznych súvislostiach používa dodnes. Wikipedia

François Villon: Citáty v angličtine

“It's true that I have loved,
And gladly would again;
But sad heart, and famished belly
Not even partly satisfied
Force me away from paths of love.
And so, let someone else take over
Who has tucked away more food –
Dancing is for men of nobler girth.”

Francois Villon kniha Le Testament

Bien est verté que j'ay amé
Et ameroie voulentiers;
Mais triste cuer, ventre affamé
Qui n'est rassasié au tiers
M'oste des amoureux sentiers.
Au fort, quelqu'ung s'en recompence,
Qui est ramply sur les chantiers!
Car la dance vient de la pance.

In love or war," as anyone will tell you,

And Samson to lose his eyes.

I am a lecher, and she's a lecher with me.
Which one of us is better? We're both alike:
The one as worthy as the other. Bad rat, bad cat.
We both love filth, and filth pursues us;
We flee from honor, honor flees from us,
In this brothel where we ply our trade.”

Francois Villon kniha Le Testament

Vente, gresle, gelle, j'ay mon pain cuit.
Ie suis paillart, la paillarde me suit.
Lequel vault mieulx? Chascun bien s'entresuit.

Nous deffuyons onneur, il nous deffuit,
En ce bordeau ou tenons nostre estat.
