GEORGES PERROS (3)

The poet has no memory what so ever. The poet ís a memory.

Victor Hugo was a madman who thought he was Victor Hugo” Jean Cocteau

The most beautiful poem in the world will never be but a pale reflection of what we call poetry, which is a way of being, or, as someone else would put it, a way of living.



Poetry is in the streets, in the drains, it's entirely disposed of hierarchy, it doesn't know. It doesn't know anything. It is the song of our ignorance.
