Guerre

Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 (Rome) – 1918 (Paris)



Rameau central de combat
Contact par l'écoute
 On tire dans la direction ' des bruits entendus '
Les jeunes de la classe 1915
Et ces fils de fer électrisés
Ne pleurez donc pas sur les horreurs de la guerre
Avant elle nous n'avions que la surface
De la terre et des mers
Après elle nous aurons les abîmes
Le sous-sol et l'espace aviatique
Maîtres du timon
 Après après
 Nous prendrons toutes les joies
 Des vainqueurs qui se délassent
Femmes Jeux Usines Commerce
 Industrie Agriculture Métal
Feu Cristal Vitesse
 Voix Regard Tact à part
 Et ensemble dans le tact venu de loin
 De plus loin encore
 De l'Au-delà de cette terre
