"Farai un vers de dreyt rien;
Non er de mi ni d'autra gen
Non er d'amor ni de joven,
Ni di ren au,
Qu'emans fo trobatz en durmen
Sobre chevau."

"These verses are about nothing at all,
Neither of me nor of other folk,
Nor about love, nor about youth,
Nor about anything else.
They came to me while I was sleeping,
On a long ride on my horse."

--Guillaume D'Aquitaine (1071-1127), Count of Poitiers and Duke of Aquitainia, the earliest known troubadour: one of his best known songs.

Heres my faverite...My father wrote it in 1949...."Tradition is not a form to be imitated but the dissapline that gives integrity to the New"
