May In May lovely May on a boat on the Rhine Now the flowering orchards stood frozen astern Along the road on the river bank slowly May lovely May has garlanded the ruins Translated by Oliver Bernard Apollinaire’s poetry reflects the heady years of artistic and intellectual ferment before the First World War. The most dynamic modernist French poet and the champion of the Cubist painters, he is remembered as much for his more traditional lyric poems as for the typographical experiments of his calligrammes. Subtle and complex, yet often direct, his poetry is still fresh and memorable. |
