Anniversary of D-day (1944).
I'll be watching "The Longest Day" later.
Blessent mon cœur d'une langeur monotone.

Shortly before the D-Day landings of June 6, 1944, Radio Londres broadcast the first stanza of Paul Verlaine's poem "Chanson d'automne" to let the resistance know that Operation Overlord, the invasion, would begin within 24 hours.[2]
Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l’automne
Blessent mon cœur
D’une langueur
Monotone.
Blessent mon cœur d'une langeur monotone ([The violins of autumn] wound my heart with a monotonous languor) was the specific call to action.
