Guillaume Apollinaire - A magnificent poet in Paris

The Paris Reivew (Autumn 2012) published a collection of ten poems by Apollinaire. The final lines of Cors De Chasse are:

"Memories
Are hunting horns whose sound dies in the breeze."

I found them incrdibly emotionally charged, they bring forth in my mind so many images, and for me this is the magic of them.


Guillaume Apollinaire (1880 - 1918)
Such and intersting but tragically short life. http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/737
