Editor's Note 10/22

Que tu meures absous ou damné,
marmottait Scarbo cette nuit à mon oreille,
tu auras pour linceul une toile d'araignée,
et j'ensevelirai l'araignée avec toi!
Whether you die absolved or damned,
wheezed Scarbo in my ear that night,
you'll have a spiderweb for your shroud,
and I'll bury the spider with you!
Aloysius Bertrand
