REVERDY Pierre [Narbonne, 1889 Solesmes, 1960], poète français associé au cubisme et aux débuts du surréalisme
Autograph poem signed "Aller et retour 5 francs". 1 page small in-4°.
"The garlic
calf's head The black
bird The snail
's eyes And the windows
Too many animals
The owner's not here
My God the road is long
And it's uphill
You can't hear the piano
Through the branches
And there may be--To be no trees
A courtyard
The emptiness that one makes oneself around
That this small village is far on the map
On the hillside
On the postcard that hangs in my pocket
The owner's onions hang
At the window
And the cage is empty
Dirty bird
Go and return 5 francs.
Pierre Reverdy"
