The Poems of François Villon Quotes

“Yet, if the world were bettered by
My death or story left untold,
I would condemn myself to die
For misdemeanours manifold:
I bring no harm to young or old
Alive or dead, in either case:
A man so needy never rolled
A mountain from its resting place.”
― Francois Villon, Poems of Francois Villon

“In my own country I am in a far off land
I am strong but I have no force or power
I win all yet remain a loser
At break of day I say goodnight
When I lie down I have a great fear
Of falling.”
― François Villon, The Poems of François Villon
