"L'etat, c'est moi"
What’s the reference? Did he get decapitated?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_XIV
It is the one world famous quote of him. It rhymes in French, therefore it usually remains untranslated. He declared with this sentence what historians later called absolutism.
My French isn't great, but I'm fairly confident I know how to pronounce this. It's only a slant rhyme, right?
