Tout s'est tu...
This phrase is taken from a poem where narrator is talking about these noises that won't go away.
"...Le vieux murmure en moi dure et ne peut fini. Tout s'est tu. Viens, ma nuit!..."
I understand that this means something like "Everything fell silent" but is there also a double-meaning with a play-on-words here, with "Tout c'est tout", for example???
Many thanks.

No, I doubt it.
To a French speaker, the "u" and "ou" vowels are different vowels with no confusion between them. Any confusion is really just on the part of English (and other speakers) who have difficulty pronouncing and differentiating them.

Ok cheers, that helps a lot. Think I need to work on my pronunciation perhaps!
