Liens

Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 (Rome) – 1918 (Paris)

Cordes faites de cris

    Sons de cloches à travers l'Europe
    Siècles pendus

    Rails qui ligotez les nations
    Nous ne sommes que deux ou trois hommes
    Libres de tous liens
    Donnons-nous la main

    Violente pluie qui peigne les fumées
    Cordes

    Cordes tissées
    Câbles sous-marins
    Tours de Babel changées en ponts
    Araignées-Pontifes
    Tous les amoureux qu'un seul lien a liés

    D'autres liens plus ténus
    Blancs rayons de lumière
    Cordes et Concorde

    J'écris seulement pour vous exalter
    Ô sens ô sens chéris
    Ennemis du souvenir
    Ennemis du désir

    Ennemis du regret
    Ennemis des larmes
    Ennemis de tout ce que j'aime encore
