Oh, I really like this poem. Twice, in fact, because in addition to its general gorgeousness, it's reminding me of all those WW2 inscriptions in Paris, and anything that reminds me of being in Europe is a Good Thing.
And I am amused to note that yes, I did know of Paul Eluard before... I'd never read anything of his, of course, but in year 11 my French teacher made reference to his remark that "La terre est bleue comme une orange" (alas, in reference to Prévert!) and it became my favourite quote for a very long time.
love
Catherine
