Heya, I wanted to ask about one of the quotes from Vanitas. I really liked it but couldn't find anything about it when I searched the internet. I wanted to ask if you could provide the full quote and maybe the author/where you found it at if you don't mind.
It was the one that said something like "Chalk becomes a cliffside; Desk becomes the trees; Pencil holder becomes a bird." and a few more lines before that.
Thank you, it really inspired me. |

It's from a poem by Jacques Prévert (from Paroles, Page d'écriture).
The original French text is
Quote: Et les vitres redeviennent sable
l'encre redevient eau
les pupitres redeviennent arbres
la craie redevient falaise
le porte-plume redevient oiseau.
Here's a page with all the quotes and their authors. |
