What Edna Said

My candle burns at both ends;
   It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
   It gives a lovely light!

This image is taken from the outside of the station and you can see the structure through the side wall. France station was built in 1929 for the Universal Exhibition, being at the time the main railway station of Barcelona. Now it used for medium-distance routes and the hotel-train to Paris.
