Like glued paper...
On this woodcut, geometric shapes reminiscent of birds are scattered on a pink background. Pink, the color of love, Guillaume Apollinaire declares his laziness to Louise de Coligny-Châtillon, with whom he has fallen in love.
"... Forgotten memory alive in
all things
I would blush the tip of your
Pretty pink breasts..."
