FICHE 1
La colombe poignardée et la fontaine
Apollinaire
Douces figures poignardées /
Chères lèvres fleuries/
Mya, Yette, Lorie
Annie et toi Marie/
Où êtes-vous ô jeunes filles ?
Mais près d’un jet d’eau
IKBAL
Qui pleure et qui prie
Cette colombe s’extasie/
Sébastien
Tous les souvenirs de naguère,
O mes amis partis en guerre,
BLANDINE
Jaillissent vers le firmament/
Et vos regards en l’eau dormant,
Meurent mélancoliquement/
Où sont-ils Braque et Max Jacob ?
ANAIS
Derain aux yeux gris comme l’aube ,
Où sont Raynal Billy Dalize ?
Dont les noms se mélancolisent,
Comme des pas dans une église/
Où est Chemnitz qui s’engagea ?
ANTHONY
Peut-être sont-ils morts déjà ?
De souvenirs mon âme est pleine/
Le jet d’eau pleure sur ma peine./
Ceux qui sont partis à la guerre, au Nord ,se battent maintenant/
Le soir tombe Ô sanglante mer/
Jardins où saignent abondamment
le laurier rose fleur guerrière./
YANNIS
Fiche 2
The stabbed dove and the fountain
APOLLINAIRE
Gentle faces stabbed/
Dear flowered lips /
Mya Yette Lorie
Annie and you Marie
Where are you oh young girls ?
MUHAMMED
But near a fountain that weeps and prays ,
This dove is enraptured /
All memories of long ago
ANAIS
Oh my friends who have gone to war
Spring upward toward the skies/
And in stagnant pools your look
With melancholy dies.
Where have Brake and Max Jacob gone?
Derain with eyes as grey as dawn
Where are Raynal Billy Dalize?
Whose names melancholize like foot steps in a cathedral/
Where is Chemnitz who enlisted?
Perhaps already dead/
MAELYS
My soul is full ofmemories /
Fountain weep for my sorrow /
Those who left for the war, in the north , are fighting now /
Gardens where rose- laurel warlike flower

II. INTERPRETATION
JIMMY
a) The poem
The poem is composed of two parts: The Dove and the fountain
Usually the dove is the symbol of peace but here it‟s stabbed because of the war
There is a lexical field of war all along the poem: Death ,war, bloody , enlisted,
fight
He talks about his friends(men and women) who disappeared because of the war.
The war has destroyed everything around him.It's only devastation, sadness and
desolation.
b) The painting
= MAELYS
The same feelings are conveyed in the painting A Taube by Nevinson. The
painter fought in WW1 in the French army.This painting is a testimony and a
denunciation of the war.It is really realistic.
We can see a child lying on the floor, everything is destroyed around him, he has
been killed by a shelling.
III. CONCLUSION
=ELINE
Both the kid and the dove represent innocence and peace which have been
devastated by war.
The painting and the poem denounce that peace and innocence have been the
victims of WW1.
Christopher Nevinson A Taube 1916-17
