Guillaume Apollinaire
Guillaume Apollinaire was a highly influential French poet, playwright, short story writer, novelist, and art critic. He is considered one of the most important figures of early 20th-century European literature, particularly associated with the Symbolist movement and the development of Surrealism. Apollinaire is credited with coining the term 'Surrealism' and is renowned for his innovative use of language, experimental typography, and exploration of modern themes. His poetry often blends lyricism with everyday experiences, reflecting the vibrant, often chaotic, spirit of his time.

Moonlight
Moonlight
Mellifluent moon on the lips of the maddened
The orchards and towns are greedy tonight
The stars appear like the image of bees
Of this luminous honey that offends the vines
For now all sweet in their fall from the sky
Each ray of moonlight’s a ray of honey
Now hid I conceive the sweetest adventure
I fear stings of fire from this Polar bee
that sets these deceptive rays in my hands
And takes its moon-honey to the rose of the winds
Mellifluent moon on the lips of the maddened
The orchards and towns are greedy tonight
The stars appear like the image of bees
Of this luminous honey that offends the vines
For now all sweet in their fall from the sky
Each ray of moonlight’s a ray of honey
Now hid I conceive the sweetest adventure
I fear stings of fire from this Polar bee
that sets these deceptive rays in my hands
And takes its moon-honey to the rose of the winds
