I rather like the phrase "Cette futilité absolue ne manque pas de charme..." even if it could be taken as derogatory. Or maybe its just because it's in French. ObConlang: how does your conlang(s) translate "This absolute futility is not without charm"? Or, if you want to go for the longer version, "All this doesn't have, strictly speaking, any purpose, but this absolute futility is not without charm." :Peter
