Waves – Heart, Crown and Mirror

Poem by Guillaume Apollinaire Collection CalligrammesPeriod 20th century

MY HEART LIKE AN INVERTED FLAME

THE KINGS WHO DIE
ONE AFTER ANOTHER
ARE REBORN IN THE HEARTS OF POETS

IN THIS MIRROR I AM ENCLOSED LIVING AND TRUE AS ONE
IMAGINES THE ANGELS AND NOT AS REFLECTIONS ARE
