French Poem Lithograph

76 Comments

This week has been a whirlwind of a week. We’re in the middle of preparing for an 800 mile move on Saturday and I’ve spent a glorious week blogging at Black Eiffel (Rachel is one of my heroes). I’ve got to celebrate that I’ve not had any major emotional breakdowns (only minor ones), and you! Thanks for stopping by!

The poem in the background is Le Pont Mirabeau by Guillaume Appollinaire (a poem I had to memorize in junior high for a state french fair), and it’s insanely beautiful to hear. I made this litho print back in my college days, when Chris and I were only dating. It’s always hanging above or near our bed.
