De cette alliance nouvelle, car jusqu'ici les décors et les costumes, d'une part, la choréographie, d'autre part, n'avaient entre eux qu'un lien fact… - Guillaume Apollinaire

Nor days nor any time detain.
Time past or any love
Cannot come again.

You see before you a man in his right mind
Worldly-wise and with access to death
Having tested the sorrow of love and its ecstasies
Having sometimes even astonished the professors
Good with languages
Having travelled a great deal
Having seen battle in the Artillery and the Infantry
Wounded in the head trepanned under chloroform
Having lost my best friends in the butchery
As much of antiquity and modernity as can be known I know

Voici que vient l'été la saison violente
Et ma jeunesse est morte ainsi que le printemps Ô soleil c'est le temps de la raison ardente
