back to Guillaume Apollinaire

“Clotilde” by Guillaume Apollinaire 🇫🇷 (26 Aug 18809 Nov 1918)
Translated from the French by & Donald Revell
Anemone and columbine
Where gloom has lain
Opened in gardens
Between love and disdain
Made somber by the sun
Our shadows meet
Until the sun
Is squandered by night
Gods of living water
Let down their hair
And now you must follow
A craving for shadows
