"Samuel Beckett's German translator Elmar Tophoven once noticed that someone was using a mirror to flash a beam of light into Beckett's apartment. It transpired to be an inmate in neighbouring La Sante Prison who 'was sending a signal to the free man opposite, the nondescript man, who, alone, would make sweeping semaphore gestures in return, which signified nothing save for: "Courage"'"
