René Char quote paired with Chopin waltz circulates among readers
Original: L'éternité n'est guère plus longue que la vie. René Char Feuillets d'Hypnos E. Kissin ~Chopin Waltz 64 2 https:// youtu.
A line from French poet René Char's 'Feuillets d'Hypnos' — 'Eternity is scarcely longer than life' — is being shared alongside Evgeny Kissin's recording of Chopin's Waltz Op. 64 No. 2. Readers of literature and poetry are passing the pairing around as a quiet meditation on time and mortality, combining the Resistance-era poet's words with romantic piano music and photography.
Why now: People are drawn to the poetic pairing of Char's meditation on eternity with Chopin's music, sharing it as reflective cultural content.
