Jacques Prevert! Haven't thought of his poetry for years. It caused me to rummage in my bookshelf and find the copy of Paroles and flick through it. I appaerntly purchased the book in 1967.
I must say his poetry is very evocative snd melancholy. no wonder we liked his poetry all those years ago.
Ah, I thought I was alone, Anne, but no...I am continually surprised and impressed at your range and depth of reading.
