In the Prison of the National Guard, Poem by Alfred De Musset

Poem by Alfred De Musset Collection ArrayPeriod 19th century

(Lines written beneath a woman’s head drawn on the wall.)

Whoever you may be, I implore you,
Put your bed on the other side.
Do not drag your blanket
Over the already mistreated breast
Of this gentle creature.
A pencil full of skill
Created her amiable figure,
Which breathes voluptuousness.
She is beautiful, leave her pure.

Alfred De Musset
