Analysis of Mutation
Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 (Rome) – 1918 (Paris)
Une femme qui pleurait
Eh ! Oh ! Ha !
Des soldats qui passaient
Eh ! Oh ! Ha !
Un éclusier qui pêchait
Eh ! Oh ! Ha !
Les tranchées qui blanchissaient
Eh ! Oh ! Ha !
Des obus qui pétaient
Eh ! Oh ! Ha !
Des allumettes qui ne prenaient pas
Et tout
A tant changé
En moi
Tout
Sauf mon Amour
Eh ! Oh ! Ha !
