Shortly before the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944, Radio Londres broadcast the first stanza of Paul Verlaine's poem "Chanson d'automne" to let the resistance know that the invasion would begin within 24 hours.
- Les sanglots longs
- Des violons
- De l’automne
- Blessent mon cœur
- D’une langueur
- Monotone.
Blessent mon cœur d'une langueur monotone ("wound my heart with a monotonous languor") was the specific call to action.
