Nous deux
by Paul Bilhaud (1854-1932)
« Riquette et Riquet s’aiment, c’est là l’important. Que voudriez-vous savoir de plus ? Comment ils se sont connus ? Où ils se sont rencontrés ? S’ils sont mariés ? S’ils ne le sont pas ? S’ils demeurent ensemble ou s’ils habitent séparément ? Dans quel quartier ? À quel étage ? Quel est le prix de leur loyer ? Comment ils s’habillent ? Ce qu’ils mangent à leurs repas ? etc… etc…
L’auteur n’estime pas ces détails indispensables à son récit.
Aussi de Riquette et de Riquet il ne vous dira que ceci : Vous voulez les connaître ? Écoutez-les bavarder, rire et s’embrasser.
Bavardages, rires et baisers, toute leur histoire tient en ces trois mots que résume cet autre : l’Amour ! »
(Extraits)Riquette and Riquet are in love, that’s what matters. What else would you like to know? How and where they met? If they are married or not? If they live together or apart? In which neighbourhood? What floor? How much is their rent? How they are dressed? What they eat?…
The author does not consider those details necessary to his narrative.
Therefore, he won’t tell you anything about Riquette and Riquet but this: you’d like to know them? Listen to them chatting, laughing and hugging.
Chatter, laughter and hugs, those three words make up their whole story which can be summarized in this other one: Love!
