Many times upon a timeThere was a man who loved a woman.Many times upon a timeThere was a woman who loved a man.Many times upon a timeThere was a man and there was a womanWho did not love the ones who loved them.Once upon a timePerhaps only onceA man and a woman who loved each other.Robert Desnos, Fairy Tale 04 /07/1900 - 08/06/1945 Theresienstadtremembering Desnos was first deported to Auschwitz then Buchenwald, and finally to Theresienstadt in in 1945, where he died from typhoid only weeks after the camp’s liberation. He is buried at the Montparnasse cemetery in Paris. Although most of his writings were lost, an earlier poem to his wife, in revised form, was found on his person:I have dreamed so strongly of youI have walked so much, talked so muchSo much I have loved your shadowThat there now remains for me nothing more of you,It remains with me to be a shadow among shadowsTo be a hundred times darker than the darknessTo be the shadow that will come and come again into your sun blessed life. -- source link
