about

Guillaume Apollinaire (France, 1880-1918)

Wilhelm Albert Vladimir Apollonaris de Kostrowicki, who adopted the name Guillaume Apollinaire, was born in Italy to a Polish noblewoman (and an undetermined father), but ultimately settled in France. A playwright, poet, and novelist, he invented the term “surrealism.” He made his reputation with the 1913 poetry collection Alcools (“Alcohols“), and is also widely known for the concrete poetry of 1918’s Calligrammes, in which a poem’s appearance—its typography and layout—is an integral part of the work. Apollinaire suffered a head wound in World War I in 1916 from which he never fully recovered, eventually dying in the great flu epidemic of 1918.

The title of this track refers to the literal fever of the flu that killed Apollinaire, but also to the imaginative fever in which he lived his artistic life.

lyrics

Une fièvre de couleur
Dépouillée de toute douceur
Aussi brillante que le verre—
Ma fièvre brûle la terre,
Brûle la terre.

Il y a de la fièvre
Dans mes yeux
Et je chasse toutes les visions
Que je peux.
Que je peux.

** Translation: A Permanent Fever **

A fever of color
Stripped of softness
As shiny as glass—
My fever burns the Earth,
burns the Earth.

There’s fever in my eyes
As I hunt all the visions that I can,
That I can.
