Edward Lear - The Pyramids road, Gizeh, 1873
Manifestation de soutien à la lutte du peuple égyptien, Paris, 5 février
There was an Old Man of the Nile,
Who sharpened his nails with a file,
Till he cut out his thumbs,
And said calmly, 'This comes
Of sharpening one's nails with a file!'
Who sharpened his nails with a file,
Till he cut out his thumbs,
And said calmly, 'This comes
Of sharpening one's nails with a file!'
Texte et dessin : Edward Lear - A Book of Nonsense, 1861
C'était un vieil homme du Nil
qui se limait les ongles, tant
et tant qu'il se coupa les pouces
"Voilà ce qui arrive, dit-il
Quand on lime ses ongles autant !"
Edward Lear - The pyramids of Gizeh, ca 1873
