Onoto-face
Complicated dial of the Gare Saint-Lazare
Apollinaire

Gains, slows, stops occasionally.
European
Western traveler

Why don’t you accompany me to America?

I cried on the embarcadero
New York
Ships shake the dishes up

Rome Prague London Nice Paris

Oxo-Liebig curls hair in your room
Books an estacade
 
Blunderbusses fire coconuts

“Julie or I’ve lost my rose”
 
Futurist

 

You’ve long written in the shadow of a picture

Of the Arabesque you thought

O you the happiest of all we

For Rousseau has done your portrait
In the stars
The carnations of the poet “Sweet Williams”


Apollinaire

1900-1911

For 12 years only poet of France.

 

December 1913.
