Giant totem planted above the city,
You capture the light of the sky of Provence,
Light that you shine on the thousand-year-old stones of the city; but
Are you a pure diamond or
A dented tin can?
Madam, I like your ambiguity, which reflects that of our time.
BS
Sphinx, Lighthouse of Alexandria, Parthenon, Angkor,
Colosseum, Pont du Gard and you, a hundred cathedrals.
And you, castles, O architectural beauties,
O Louvre and Taj Mahal, Luma, others...
André Bonafos
