Analysis of À l'Italie
Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 (Rome) – 1918 (Paris)
L'amour a remué ma vie comme on remue la terre dans la zone des armées
J'atteignais l'âge mûr quand la guerre arriva
Et dans ce jour d'août 1915 le plus chaud de l'année
Bien abrité dans l'hypogée que j'ai creusé moi-même
C'est à toi que je songe Italie mère de mes pensées
