" L'essence de la vie est la sourire des fesses rondes d'une femme a l'ombre de l'ennui cosmique." Guy de Maupassant
"The essence of life is the smile of a woman's rounded bottom in the shade of cosmic boredom"
Guy de Maupassant
3WW falter emotion touch
emotion touched him not these days
but the sight of
des fesses rondes d'une femme
never faltered in making
his little blue bird smile
and burst into song
one of the few secret pleasures
left to him
Like the way you've transcribed this.
