Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918)
From Bestiaire – Bestiary
- Le Paon
- En faisant la roue, cet oiseau,
- Dont le pennage traîne à terre,
- Apparaît encore plus beau,
- Mais se découvre le derrière.
- The Peacock
- When spreading his fan, this bird,
- Whose plumage trails on the ground,
- Appears even more beautiful,
- But he uncovers his behind.
