I liked those yellow-covered Garner editions of great French authors. They seem dated now. He was a rogue, was Villon, and I enjoyed trying to understand his poetry when I was a student. Multiple pencil annotations spoil this copy – my translations of words and phrases. ‘Idea of death, inseparable from idea of woman – makes him think of waning beauty of woman’ I have scribbled pompously at the end of Le testament.

A fine translation which seems to capture the spirit, if not the music, of Villon. ( )
