Rêver qu'on est riche, qu'on est aimé de la grande dame qui vous occupe ; rêver qu'on se promène avec elle sur des bords fleuris, ... et se réveiller dans son galetas d'étudiant, mouillé, enrhumé et manquant d'argent.
To dream that you are rich, that you are loved by the elegant lady who occupies your thoughts; to dream that you are walking with her along flowered banks, … and then to wake up in your student garret, drenched, suffering from a cold, and without any money.
