    Trying very very hard to learn French

    Il est un air pour qui je donnerais
    Tout Rossini, tout Mozart et tout Weber
    Un air tres vieux, languissant et funebre
    Qui pour moi seul a des charmes secrets

    Or chaque fois que je viens a l'entendre.....

    English translation:

    He is an expression/symbol for whom I give myself out
    Every Rossini, every Mozart and every Weber
    An expression so ancient, languid and dismal
    Whom for myself solely since charming secrets

    But every belief that I have felt to understand.....

    Gerard de Nerval, Fantasie

    Can somebody please have the patience to teach me French....

    Marcher a travers des sommeils de cyclones transportant des villes somnabules dans leurs bra endoloris

    English translation:


    To march across the sleep of cyclones convey of absence of sleepwalkers with their sore arms
    Translation is at the back of the book but I don't look. It is cheating. I also want to see how proficient my would-be tutor is.
