Oh Paris

From red to green all the yellow dies away

Paris Vancouver Hyeres Maintenon New York and the Antilles

The window opens like an orange

The beautiful fruit of light

("Windows")

Guillaume Apollinaire

Horse


[Man you will find here

a new representation of the universe

at its most poetic and most modern

Man man man man man man

Give yourself up to this art where the sublime

does not exclude charm

and brilliancy does not blur the nuance

it is now or never the moment

to be sensitive to poetry for it dominates

all dreadfully

Guillaume Apollinaire]

Vase

[Why weep

Come back tomorrow

There are also poisonous flowers

and flowers always open in the evening

she loves the cinema

she has been in Russia

Love married with disdain

Pearl-studded watch

a trip to Montrouge

Maisons- Lafitte

and everything finishes in perfumes

remember

Let the flower bloom and let the fruit rot

and let the grain sprout

while the storms rage]

Guillaume Apollinaire

Le Chat

Je souhaite dans ma maison:
Une femme ayant sa raison.
Un chat passant parmi les livres.
Des amis en toute saison
Sans lesquels je ne peux pas vivre.

La Puce

Puces, amis, amantes même,
Qu'ils sont cruels ceux qui nous aiment!
Tout notre sang coule pour eux.
Les bien-aimés sont malheureux.

Guillaume Apollinaire

Without poets, without artists... everything would fall apart into chaos. There would be no more seasons, no more civilizations, no more thought, no more humanity, no more life even; and impotent darkness would reign forever. Poets and artists together determine the features of their age, and the future meekly conforms to their edit.

Guillaume Apollinaire
