Place des Invalides

Écoute Dieu ronronne dans son beau ciel vide 
Rouet d'Omphale Les Nations 
Une remise triomphale de décorations 
Place des Invalides 

Dôme d'or 
Le bilan se dépêche, carde un nuage 
Les cocardes triclores 

Nasse la tour Eiffel pendue 
Elle attrape en silence 
Toutes les dépêches du monde

by Jean Cocteau (1889-1963)
