I would love to know what the poems are which are recited by the girls at the end. According to this youtube video, one user claims there is one poem by Jules Laforgue and two by Charles Boudelaire... although it is unclear what the titles of the poems are supposed to be.

Here is the link below *SPOILER*

of course in the actual movie it is much more beautiful just listening to the french words "dig a ditch, dig it deep." :)

I completely agree about the lines 'dig a ditch, dig it deep.'

That was quite a sequence. Loved their poetry duet, and then how it changed to them reciting in unison, the nuns get creeped out, and the final scene.
