André Breton chasing butterflies with Benjamin Péret in St.-Cirq, c. 1959
Hotel of Sparks by André Breton
The philosophical butterfly Alights on the rosy star And that makes a window in hell The masked man is still standing in front of the naked woman Whose hair glides like in the morning the light on a streetlamp that has not been extinguished
The learned furniture urges on the room that juggles With its rose-windows Its circular sunbeams Its glass mouldings Within which a geometric sky is turning blue In memory of the inimitable breast Now the cloud of a garden passes over the head of the man who has just sat down
And is cutting in two the woman with the bust of magic and the Parma eyes It is the hour when the polar bear with the highly intelligent look Stretches himself and counts a day
