by Jean Cocteau (1889 - 1963)
Photographie
Language: French (Français)
La pelisse est en brousse verte Quelle chute d’eau négligente C’est mieux que la découverte Des ruines d’Agrigente Le troupeau gémit en patois J’aime beaucoup la montagne Mais ton visage m’accompagne Je n’ai jamais rien vu de plus joli que toi.
