Les Ardoises du Toit (Classic Reprint)

by Pierre Reverdy

Excerpt from Les Ardoises du Toit

Une voix monte Les toits se sont mis � trembler Le vent lance des feuilles mortes Et les nuages retard�s Marchent vers l'autre bout du monde Qui se serait mis � siffler Dans le calme d'un soir d'�t�.

About the author

Pierre Reverdy (September 13, 1889 – June 17, 1960) was a French poet whose works were inspired by and subsequently proceeded to influence the provocative art movements of the day, Surrealism, Dadaism and Cubism. The loneliness and spiritual apprehension that ran through his poetry appealed to the Surrealist credo. He, though, remained independent of the prevailing “isms,” searching for something beyond their definitions. His writing matured into a mystical mission seeking, as he wrote: “the sublime simplicity of reality."
