This is actually a quote from the famous Samuel Beckett play Waiting for Godot. Did you have any idea this line was from Waiting for Godot? I was certainly startled by this.

Wrong. Why would he write it in French first if the French language wasn't better for it? Shit like this >>16820753 sounds better in French and more natural.

Beckett just used the French language in order to make his writing more sparse. After getting what he needed from a bad language, he translated his works into a language that actually matters.

Cope. You keep saying that. It might have been the reason for initially switching to French. But after that he really established himself as a French writer (he would more often speak French day to day for the rest of his life), and though his self-translation is an art in itself, it is simply anglo chauvinism to see his English versions as the definitive editions, and Beckett as foremost an English-language author.
