Question
This poem is called a “long crazy line of bullshit about death” in an elegy that ends, “I am buried here and sit by my grave beneath a tree.” A collection titled in reference to this poem includes the refrain, “All the way from Akkad, from Elam, from Sumer.” Samuel Beckett’s translation of this poem unusually preserves its rhyming couplets. A stanza of this poem that describes a “flying machine” befriended by “eagle phoenix and Chinese pihis” begins with the line, (*) “Christ pupil of my eye.” This poem’s second line calls one landmark a “shepherdess” and compares bridges to a “bleating flock.” This poem’s last line titles a 1948 collection by Aimé Césaire. The line “soleil cou coupé” (“so-LAY coo coo-PAY”) or “sun slit throat,” ends this poem, the first in Alcools. For 10 points, a walk through Paris is the subject of what poem by Guillaume Apollinaire? ■END■
