Case of Armons – Reconnaissance

Poem by Guillaume Apollinaire Collection CalligrammesThemes WarPeriod 20th century

À Mademoiselle P…

A single birch tree in the twilight
Pales at the threshold of the horizon
Where the angular measure flees
From heart to soul and reason

The blue gallop of remembrances
Crosses the lilacs of the eyes

And the cannons of indolence
Fire my dreams toward
the skies

Guillaume Apollinaire
