Summary "Le bestiaire: ou, Cortège d'Orphée" by Guillaume Apollinaire is a collection of illustrated poetry written in the early 20th century. This unique work intricately blends verse with art, presenting various animals as symbols that explore themes of beauty, nature, and human emotions. The book reflects Apollinaire's innovative poetic style and represents a significant contribution to the literary movements of its time. In "Le bestiaire," each section introduces a different animal, accompanied by expressive poetry that reveals deeper philosophical and emotional undertones. The verses depict animals such as the tortoise, horse, lion, and dolphin, intertwining their characteristics with reflections on life, love, and existential inquiries. Apollinaire's work is rich with imagery and metaphor, inviting readers to contemplate the relationship between humanity and the animal world. The poems capture a range of sentiments, from joy and reverence to melancholy, while the illustrations by Raoul Dufy enhance the overall experience, creating a visual and literary celebration of the natural world.
