Analysis of Les Grenadines repentantes
Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 (Rome) – 1918 (Paris)
En est-il donc deux dans Grenade
Qui pleurent sur ton seul péché
Ici l'on jette la grenade
Qui se change en un œuf coché
Puisqu'il en naît des coqs Infante
Entends-les chanter leurs dédains
Et que la grenade est touchante
Dans nos effroyables jardins
