 Bleus ou noirs, tous aimés, tous beaux,

Des yeux sans nombre ont vu l'aurore.

Ils dorment au fond des tombeaux

Et le soleil se lève encore...

Les nuits plus douces que les jours

Ont enchanté des yeux sans nombre.

Les étoiles brillent toujours

Et les yeux se sont remplis d'ombre.

Oh ! Qu'ils aient perdu le regard

Non, non, cela n'est pas possible,

Ils se sont tournés quelque part

Vers ce qu'on nomme l'invisible.

Et comme les astres penchants

Nous quittent, mais au ciel demeurent

Les prunelles ont leur couchant

Mais il n'est pas vrai qu'elles meurent.

Bleus ou noirs, tous aimés, tous beaux,

Ouverts à quelqu'immense aurore

De l'autre côté des tombeaux

Les yeux qu'on ferme voient encore.

"Healthy in body and mind, I end my life before pitiless old age which has taken from me my pleasures and joys one after another; and which has been stripping me of my physical and mental powers, can paralyse my energy and break my will, making me a burden to myself and to others. For some years I had promised myself not to live beyond 70; and I fixed the exact year for my departure from life. I prepared the method for the execution of our resolution, it was a hypodermic of cyanide acid. I die with the supreme joy of knowing that at some future time, the cause to which I have been devoted for forty-five years will triumph. Long live Communism! Long Live the Second International."

World War I memorials

The crematorium of Père Lachaise, Neo-Byzantine style - by Jean-Camille Formigé (1894)

Père Lachaise Cemetery (formerly, cimetière de l'Est, "East Cemetery") is the largest cemetery in the city of Paris (44 hectares or 110 acres), though there are larger cemeteries in the city's suburbs.

Père Lachaise is in the 20th arrondissement and is notable for being the first garden cemetery, as well as the first municipal cemetery. It is also the site of three World War I memorials.

The cemetery takes its name from the confessor to Louis XIV, Père François de la Chaise (1624–1709), who lived in the Jesuit house rebuilt in 1682 on the site of the chapel. The property, situated on the hillside from which the king watched skirmishing between the Condé and Turenne during the Fronde, was bought by the city in 1804. Established by Napoleon in this year, the cemetery was laid out by Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart and later extended.

George Enescu (known in France as Georges Enesco; 19 August 1881 – 4 May 1955) was a Romanian composer, violinist, pianist, conductor, and teacher, regarded as one of the greatest composers of the 20th century.

Grave of Adolphe Thiers
Marie Joseph Louis Adolphe Thiers (15 April 1797 – 3 September 1877) was a French politician and historian. He was a leading historian of the French Revolution, with a multivolume history that argued that the republicanism of the Revolution was the central theme of modern French history.
Thiers served as a prime minister in 1836, 1840 and 1848. He was a vocal opponent of Emperor Napoleon III, who reigned 1848–71. Following the overthrow of the Second Empire he again came to power and his suppression of the revolutionary Paris Commune of 1871 killed thousands of Parisians. From 1871 to 1873 he served initially as Head of State (effectively a provisional President of France), then President. He lost power in 1873 to Patrice de Mac-Mahon, Duke of Magenta.

Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault (26 September 1791 – 26 January 1824).

Jean-Joseph Marie Carriès (February 15, 1855 – July 1, 1894) was a French sculptor, ceramist, and miniaturist.

Grave of Cino Del Duca (1899-1967)

A columbarium and a crematorium of a Neo-Byzantine style were designed in 1894 by Jean-Camille Formigé.

"You know, it is a very strange feeling to be a living legend while I am still on the earth. Perhaps it would be better if all those people who admired my voice decided to consider me immortal following my death. If that happened I would sit on some cloud, looking down and I would enjoy the view instead of sitting and worrying about whether I could manage to get out the high notes." April 1976 (last interview)
Maria Callas (December 2, 1923 – September 16, 1977) - cenotaph.
