Wounds my heart with a monotonous languor.
Sounds like lines from Shakespeare.
It's actually a line from the French poet Paul Verlaine. When the BBC broadcast that verse - as it did on June 5, 1944 - it was a sign to the French resistance that the D-Day was to begin within 48 hours.
I remember that fact from a LP record on D-Day that I heard as a child. The actual broadcast was included in the record. For some reason it stuck with me.
