i'm thankful that though i don't speak a second language, i can sometimes catch a glimmer of the beauty of what it must feel like to do so, such as when looking at
this french protest sign, which is translated as "
when everything is privatized we will be deprived of everything" and, while not being able to really read french, seeing, visually, the word "
privé" twice, feeling the way that in french the parallel structure is even more essential, two meanings crossing on an empty street.
