My tail ring is engraved with your name

One hundred years after you were born, I am late

The plane is destroyed, the rose is broken

The Bay of Biscay is full of tears

I went to the fossil forest to find you

you're smoking a pipe

smiling like a child

Two tail rings, two elegant

I take off my tail ring and show you

engraved your name

don't wander anymore

Please take me with you

I bought a lot of poems

read to you one by one

Slim and long face, elegant and charming
Spy status, adding to your mystery. An untimely death, a heart-wrenching love

Postscript: Hope to see a Leslie Howard biographical film in twenty years. This is a lovely man, and the war should apologize for his death. I will always love him.

The Petrified Forest quotes

  • Alan Squier: The trouble with me, Gabrielle, is I, I belong to a vanishing race. I'm one of the intellectuals.

    Gabrielle Maple: That, that means you've got brains!

    Alan Squier: Hmmm. Yes. Brains without purpose. Noise without sound, shape without substance.

  • Gabrielle Maple: Petrified forest is a lot of dead trees in the desert that have turned to stone. Here's a good specimen.

    Alan Squier: So that was once a tree? Hmmm. Petrified forest, eh? Suitable haven for me. Well, perhaps that's what I'm destined to become, an interesting fossil for future study.
