Case d'Armons – June 14, 1915, Poem by Guillaume Apollinaire

Poem by Guillaume Apollinaire Collection CalligrammesThemes WarPeriod 20th century

One can say nothing
Nothing of what is happening
But one changes Sector
Ah! lost traveler
No letters
But hope
But a newspaper
The antique sword of Rude’s La Marseillaise
Has turned into a constellation
It fights for us in the sky
But that means above all
That one must be of this time
No antique sword
No Sword
But Hope

Guillaume Apollinaire
