On attend Godeau…
It seems that Samuel Beckett, resident in Paris for much of his life, visited the Vélodrome d’Hiver (which had been requisitioned as a staging point for Parisian Jews on their way to Nazi camps) in the ’40s, to watch the famous cyclist Roger Godeau. He asked the young autograph hounds outside what they were doing. “On attend Godeau” they replied. We’re waiting for Godeau.
