Le Mur du Silence
|Combien j’aurais aimé
Qu’il y eût plein de rires retentissants
De bavardages criards
De discussions assourdissantes
De plaisanteries éclatantes
De dégustations bruyantes
D’agapes tapageuses
Et quoi encore?
Mais de grâce
Pas ce mur de briques
Que sont
Le chagrin
Le désespoir
La tristesse
L’ennui
La froideur
Le silence
L’apathie
L’inertie
La lassitude
Et l’indifférence absolue
Envers les repas
Que je dépose sans cesse
Par amour
Devant toi.

An Appeal
Dear Reader
65 years ago Mauritius Times was founded with a resolve to fight for justice and fairness and the advancement of the public good. It has never deviated from this principle no matter how daunting the challenges and how costly the price it has had to pay at different times of our history.
With print journalism struggling to keep afloat due to falling advertising revenues and the wide availability of free sources of information, it is crucially important for the Mauritius Times to survive and prosper. We can only continue doing it with the support of our readers.
The best way you can support our efforts is to take a subscription or by making a recurring donation through a Standing Order to our non-profit Foundation.
Thank you.
