Guillaume Apollinaire
(1880 – 1918)
Au lac de tes yeux
Au lac de tes yeux très profond
Mon pauvre cœur se noie et fond
Là le défont
Dans l’eau d’amour et de folie
Souvenir et Mélancolie

Guillaume Apollinaire
(1880 – 1918)
Mon Lou la nuit descend
Mon Lou la nuit descend tu es à moi je t’aime
Les cyprès ont noirci le ciel a fait de même
Les trompettes chantaient ta beauté mon bonheur
De t’aimer pour toujours ton cœur près de mon cœur
Je suis revenu doucement à la caserne
Les écuries sentaient bon la luzerne
Les croupes des chevaux évoquaient ta force et ta grâce
D’alezane dorée ô ma belle jument de race
La tour Magne tournait sur sa colline laurée
Et dansait lentement lentement s’obombrait
Tandis que des amants descendaient de la colline
La tour dansait lentement comme une sarrasine
Le vent souffle pourtant il ne fait pas du tout froid
Je te verrai dans deux jours et suis heureux comme un roi
Et j’aime de t’y aimer cette Nîmes la Romaine
Où les soldats français remplacent l’armée prétorienne
Beaucoup de vieux soldats qu’on n’a pu habiller
Ils vont comme des bœufs tanguent comme des mariniers
Je pense à tes cheveux qui sont mon or et ma gloire
Ils sont toute ma lumière dans la nuit noire
Et tes yeux sont les fenêtres d’où je veux regarder
La vie et ses bonheurs la mort qui vient aider
Les soldats las les femmes tristes et les enfants malades
Des soldats mangent près d’ici de l’ail dans la salade
L’un a une chemise quadrillée de bleu comme une carte
Je t’adore mon Lou et sans te voir je te regarde
Ça sent l’ail et le vin et aussi l’iodoforme
Je t’adore mon Lou embrasse-moi avant que je ne dorme
Le ciel est plein d’étoiles qui sont les soldats
Morts ils bivouaquent là-haut comme ils bivouaquaient là-bas
Et j’irai conducteur un jour lointain t’y conduire
Lou que de jours de bonheur avant que ce jour ne vienne luire
Aime-moi mon Lou je t’adore Bonsoir
Je t’adore je t’aime adieu mon Lou ma gloire

Guillaume Apollinaire
(1880 – 1918)
Il y a
Il y a un vaisseau qui a emporté ma bien-aimée
Il y a dans le ciel six saucisses et la nuit venant on dirait des asticots dont naîtraient les étoiles
Il y a un sous-marin ennemi qui en voulait à mon amour
Il y a mille petits sapins brisés par les éclats d’obus autour de moi
Il y a un fantassin qui passe aveuglé par les gaz asphyxiants
Il y a que nous avons tout haché dans les boyaux de Nietzsche de Goethe et de Cologne
Il y a que je languis après une lettre qui tarde
Il y a dans mon porte-cartes plusieurs photos de mon amour
Il y a les prisonniers qui passent la mine inquiète
Il y a une batterie dont les servants s’agitent autour des pièces
Il y a le vaguemestre qui arrive au trot par le chemin de l’Abre isolé
Il y a dit-on un espion qui rôde par ici invisible comme l’horizon dont il s’est indignement revêtu et avec quoi il se confond
Il y a dressé comme un lys le buste de mon amour
Il y a un capitaine qui attend avec anxiété les communications de la T.S.F. sur l’Atlantique
Il y a à minuit des soldats qui scient des planches pour les cercueils
Il y a des femmes qui demandent du maïs à grands cris devant un Christ sanglant à Mexico
Il y a le Gulf Stream qui est si tiède et si bienfaisant
Il y a un cimetière plein de croix à 5 kilomètres
Il y a des croix partout de-ci de-là
Il y a des figues de barbarie sur ces cactus en Algérie
Il y a les longues mains souples de mon amour
Il y a un encrier que j’avais fait dans une fusée de 15 centimètres et qu’on n’a pas laissé partir
Il y a ma selle exposée à la pluie
Il y a les fleuves qui ne remontent pas leur cours
Il y a l’amour qui m’entraîne avec douceur
Il y avait un prisonnier boche qui portait sa mitrailleuse sur son dos
Il y a des hommes dans le monde qui n’ont jamais été à la guerre
Il y a des Hindous qui regardent avec étonnement les campagnes occidentales
Ils pensent avec mélancolie à ceux dont ils se demandent s’ils les reverront
Car on a poussé très loin durant cette guerre l’art de l’invisibilité

Guillaume Apollinaire
(1880 – 1918)
Je t’adore mon Lou
Je t’adore mon Lou et par moi tout t’adore
Les chevaux que je vois s’ébrouer aux abords
L’appareil des monuments latins qui me contemplent
Les artilleurs vigoureux qui dans leur caserne rentrent
Le soleil qui descend lentement devant moi
Les fantassins bleu pâle qui partent pour le front pensent à toi
Car ô ma chevelue de feu tu es la torche
Qui m’éclaire ce monde et flamme tu es ma force
Dans le ciel les nuages
Figurent ton image
Le mistral en passant
Emporte mes paroles
Tu en perçois le sens
C’est vers toi qu’elles volent
Tout le jour nos regards
Vont des Alpes au Gard
Du Gard à la Marine
Et quand le jour décline
Quand le sommeil nous prend
Dans nos lits différents
Nos songes nous rapprochent
Objets dans la même poche
Et nous vivons confondus
Dans le même rêve éperdu
Mes songes te ressemblent
Les branches remuées ce sont tes yeux qui tremblent
Et je te vois partout toi si belle et si tendre
Les clous de mes souliers brillent comme tes yeux
La vulve des juments est rose comme la tienne
Et nos armes graissées c’est comme quand tu me veux
Ô douceur de ma vie c’est comme quand tu m’aimes
L’hiver est doux le ciel est bleu
Refais-me le refais-me le
Toi ma chère permission
Ma consigne ma faction
Ton amour est mon uniforme
Tes doux baisers sont les boutons
Ils brillent comme l’or et l’ornent
Et tes bras si roses si longs
Sont les plus galants des galons
Un monsieur près de moi mange une glace blanche
Je songe au goût de ta chair et je songe à tes hanches
À gauche lit son journal une jeune dame blonde
Je songe à tes lettres où sont pour moi toutes les nouvelles du monde
Il passe des marins la mer meurt à tes pieds
Je regarde ta photo tu es l’univers entier
J’allume une allumette et vois ta chevelure
Tu es pour moi la vie cependant qu’elle dure
Et tu es l’avenir et mon éternité
Toi mon amour unique et la seule beauté

Issue No. 103
September 2016
„Poetry“
TZK #103 addresses “poetry,” a language form central to the recent shift toward affect in contemporary critical writing. Seeing the “artist-poet” as a vital site for the intersection of politics, affect, and digitality, we consider her voice and her currency from various perspectives, pro and con, across generations, analyzing her rising success, also asking what is gained and lost in this move from “rational” thought to what one feels? Scanning populist poetry, anarchist poetry, post-millennial net-poetry, the poetry of surplus-language and social media, the art historical poetic/poet-turned-object, and shades of fading Poesie, this issue, conceived by the editors with John Kelsey and Isabelle Graw explores how the seeming immediacy of #poetry and the suggestion of a hyper-personal voice correlates with current economic demand to claim visibility.

A Biography of a Bookstore – Shakespeare and Company, Paris: A History of the Rag & Bone Shop of the Heart – by Krista Halverson (Editor) – Sylvia Whitman (Afterword) – Jeannette Winterson (Foreword)
A copiously illustrated account of the famed Paris bookstore on its 65th anniversary.
For almost 70 years, Shakespeare and Company has been a home-away-from-home for celebrated writers—including James Baldwin, Jorge Luis Borges, A. M. Homes, and Dave Eggers—as well as for young, aspiring authors and poets. Visitors are invited to read in the library, share a pot of tea, and sometimes even live in the shop itself, sleeping in beds tucked among the towering shelves of books. Since 1951, more than 30,000 have slept at the “rag and bone shop of the heart.”
This first-ever history of the legendary bohemian bookstore in Paris interweaves essays and poetry from dozens of writers associated with the shop–Allen Ginsberg, Anaïs Nin, Ethan Hawke, Robert Stone and Jeanette Winterson, among others–with hundreds of never-before-seen archival pieces, including photographs of James Baldwin, William Burroughs and Langston Hughes, plus a foreword by the celebrated British novelist Jeanette Winterson and an epilogue by Sylvia Whitman, the daughter of the store’s founder, George Whitman. The book has been edited by Krista Halverson, director of the newly founded Shakespeare and Company publishing house.
George Whitman opened his bookstore in a tumbledown 16th-century building just across the Seine from Notre-Dame in 1951, a decade after the original Shakespeare and Company had closed. Run by Sylvia Beach, it had been the meeting place for the Lost Generation and the first publisher of James Joyce’s Ulysses. (This book includes an illustrated adaptation of Beach’s memoir.) Since Whitman picked up the mantle, Shakespeare and Company has served as a home-away-from-home for many celebrated writers, from Jorge Luis Borges to Ray Bradbury, A.M. Homes to Dave Eggers, as well as for young authors and poets. Visitors are invited not only to read the books in the library and to share a pot of tea, but sometimes also to live in the bookstore itself–all for free.
More than 30,000 people have stayed at Shakespeare and Company, fulfilling Whitman’s vision of a “socialist utopia masquerading as a bookstore.” Through the prism of the shop’s history, the book traces the lives of literary expats in Paris from 1951 to the present, touching on the Beat Generation, civil rights, May ’68 and the feminist movement–all while pondering that perennial literary question, “What is it about writers and Paris?”
In this first-ever history of the bookstore, photographs and ephemera are woven together with personal essays, diary entries, and poems from writers including Allen Ginsberg, Anaïs Nin, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Sylvia Beach, Nathan Englander, Dervla Murphy, Jeet Thayil, David Rakoff, Ian Rankin, Kate Tempest, and Ethan Hawke.
With hundreds of images, it features Tumbleweed autobiographies, precious historical documents, and beautiful photographs, including ones of such renowned guests as William Burroughs, Henry Miller, Langston Hughes, Alberto Moravia, Zadie Smith, Jimmy Page, and Marilynne Robinson.
Tracing more than 100 years in the French capital, the book touches on the Lost Generation and the Beats, the Cold War, May ’68, and the feminist movement—all while reflecting on the timeless allure of bohemian life in Paris.
Krista Halverson is the director of Shakespeare and Company bookstore’s publishing venture. Previously, she was the managing editor of Zoetrope: All-Story, the art and literary quarterly published by Francis Ford Coppola, which has won several National Magazine Awards for Fiction and numerous design prizes. She was responsible for the magazine’s art direction, working with guest designers including Lou Reed, Kara Walker, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Zaha Hadid, Wim Wenders and Tom Waits, among others.
Jeanette Winterson‘s first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, was published in 1985. In 1992 she was one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists. She has won numerous awards and is published around the world. Her memoir, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?, was an international bestseller. Her latest novel, The Gap of Time, is a “cover version” of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale.
Sylvia Whitman is the owner of Shakespeare and Company bookstore, which her father opened in 1951. She took on management of the shop in 2004, when she was 23, and now co-manages the bookstore with her partner, David Delannet. Together they have opened an adjoining cafe, as well as launched a literary festival, a contest for unpublished novellas, and a publishing arm.
“I created this bookstore like a man would write a novel, building each room like a chapter, and I like people to open the door the way they open a book, a book that leads into a magic world in their imaginations.” —George Whitman, founder
Drawing on a century’s worth of never-before-seen archives, this first history of the bookstore features more than 300 images and 70 editorial contributions from shop visitors such as Allen Ginsberg, Anaïs Nin, Kate Tempest, and Ethan Hawke. With a foreword by Jeanette Winterson and an epilogue by Sylvia Whitman, the 400-page book is fully illustrated with color throughout.
