the last words of the dying

People always talk about the last words of the dying-or rather the living, it depends how you look at “it”. Jean Cocteau, who indeed was famed for his bons mots, had been thinking about his final exit all his life. His plan was to say, flippantly, “I want my money back, I didn’t understand a thing!” But what came out was “Mummy”.


François-Marie Banier
