(The New Directions edition of Apollinaire, translated by Roger Shattuck, is a facing page edition, but while the French version is laid out as Apollinaire published the poem, there’s been no attempt to lay out the English version. Thus this. These have both been put together in Adobe Illustrator; they’re not accurate to the original &ndasd; presuming that New Directions accurately copied the layout themselves! – because I eyeballed the layout; the type isn’t the same, and the alignment isn’t perfect. Will fix this later.)
