The poem closes on an injunction to silence (« que nul n'ose ajouter de commentaires… que la Croyance Lumineuse dans l'amour meure en paix, obscurément ») and on a Chinese calligraphy — 古今(碑)錄, « annales du passé et du présent » — accompanied by the words: « Il y a 4000 ans que ce qui précède a été écrit. La nature humaine n'a pas changé. »\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Librairie Alexis Noqué","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58296075616581,"sku":"0929","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8611\/6421\/files\/1-IMG_9952.jpg?v=1781651446"},{"product_id":"pensees-d-aout-poesies","title":"Pensées d'Aôut, poésies","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSAINTE-BEUVE, Charles-Augustin.
