Now you are walking in Paris all alone in the crowd
As herds of bellowing buses drive by
Love’s anguish tightens your throat
As if you were never to be loved again
If you lived in the old days you would enter a monastery
You are ashamed when you discover yourself reciting a prayer
You make fun of yourself and like the fire of Hell your laughter crackles
The sparks of your laugh gild the depths of your life
It’s a painting hanging in a dark museum
And sometimes you go and look at it close up
Guillaume Apollinaire, Zone
