Quote by Max Jacob

“Pour mon puissant amour et mon plus fort dédain comme on verrait dans un vaste miroir sans tain s'attirer et se nuire des poules bigarrées je vois le lys profond, la rose qui succombe au poids fécond de ses entrailles, circuler le touriste, photographe égaré parmi l'herbe fleurie des tombes. Je suis mourant d'avoir compris que notre terre n'est d'aucun prix.”
