--Ardengo Soffici
Poetry shining summit of the universe
Even your mortal attire is charming
Ancient things of flesh and sinew
Living beings with their earthly fate
Shadows now nailed down with a clear and fixed sign
Typefaces transubstantiation of infinite mysteries
Alphabets letters dentelles batistes bows
Ornaments of the naked idea
Je m’abîme dans ce fouillis de tiédeurs charnelles
I breathe the rich odors of your secrets
I kiss your golden scarves that are but a small part of your great body
Old cosmopolitan satyr of future mythologies
Voilà I possess you completely
