MONDE

In the salon of Madame des Ricochets

The mirrors are made of pressed grains of dew

The console is made of an arm in ivy

And the carpet dies like the waves

In the salon of Madame des Ricochets

Moon tea is served in whippoorwill eggs

The curtains begin the melting of the snow

And the piano in lost perspective sinks in one piece into the mother-of-pearl

In Madame des Ricochets' salon

Low lamps beneath aspen leaves

Lutinize the pangolin-shell fireplace

When Madame des Ricochets rings

The doors split open to let the escarpolette maids through
