Non, je ne verrai plus que vos clartés funèbres

 Transfixed by this song by Rameaux: Castor et Pollux - Act I, Scene 3


See the lyrics in French and English translation here.

The heart-piercing moments - at 2:40 and again at 6:05 - say this: Non, je ne verrai plus que vos clartés funèbres.

in English: No, I shall no longer see anything other than your funereal beams.

Here's another recording of the same song, much faster, less heart-piercing.
