Analysis of Les feux du bivouac
Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 (Rome) – 1918 (Paris)
Les feux mouvants du bivouac
Éclairent des formes de rêve
Et le songe dans l'entrelacs
Des branches lentement s'élève
Voici les dédains du regret
Tout écorché comme une fraise
Le souvenir et le secret
Dont il ne reste que la braise
