Djeuner du Matin
- The beginning lines of the poem (pouring the coffee, adding milk, etc.) are
everyday activities, but they build tension as the speaker does nothing but observe.
- This poem is known for its ability to use simple words and phrases to hint at a
more complex meaning.

En Franais
Il tait un pote. Il est n en 1900. Il a habit Paris. Il a crit Pour Toi, Mon Amour. Il a crit de
WWII et Paris. Il a t une surrealist. Il a t un scnariste.
