Fench Open is over.
We have the new Old champion.
We have had the predicitons made, lived and fulfilled/failed.
We have had surpises, beautiful points.
We have had lies, we have had tears.
We have adoration, we have had hate.
We have had the dream in flight.
We have had the end of a dream.
After the dream:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMWg48NjUIY&feature=related

Après un rêve
Je rêvais le bonheur, ardent mirage,
Tes yeux étaient plus doux, ta voix pure et sonore,
Tu rayonnais comme un ciel éclairé par l'aurore;
Tu m'appelais et je quittais la terre
Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumière,
Les cieux pour nous entr'ouvraient leurs nues,
Splendeurs inconnues, lueurs divines entrevues,
Hélas! Hélas! triste réveil des songes
Je t'appelle, ô nuit, rends moi tes mensonges,
Reviens, reviens radieuse,
Reviens ô nuit mystérieuse

I thought I'd better throw in the English translation Wink:
After a dream

In a slumber enchanted by your image
I dreamt of happiness, passionate mirage,
Your eyes were softer, your voice pure and resonant,
You shone like a sky lit up by the dawn;

You called me and I left the earth
To run away with you towards the light,
The skies opened their clouds for us,
Unknown splendours, divine flashes glimpsed,

Alas! Alas! sad awakening from dreams
I call you, O night, give me back your lies,

Return, return radiant,
Return, O mysterious night!

When icicles hang from the wall
And Dick the Shepherd blows his nail
When Bob brings logs to the Hall
And milk comes frozen home in the pail
Then Greasy Joan doth stir the pot
and goats bleat mightily in their cot
A Winters tale is sorrowful .
