Surrealism Manifesto

Surrealism

Two Surrealist Manifestos were issued by the Surrealist movement, in 1924 and 1929. The first was written by André Breton, the second was supervised by him.
 
POEM


A burst of laughter

of sapphire in the island of Ceylon

The most beautiful straws

HAVE A FADED COLOR

UNDER THE LOCKS

on an isolated farm
FROM DAY TO DAY

the pleasant

grows worse

coffee
preaches for its saint

THE DAILY ARTISAN OF YOUR BEAUTY

MADAM,

a pair

of silk stockings

is not

A leap into space
A STAG

Love above all
Everything could be worked out so well

PARIS IS A BIG VILLAGE

Watch out for
the fire that covers

THE PRAYER

of fair weather

Know that
The ultraviolet rays

have finished their task

short and sweet

THE FIRST WHITE PAPER
OF CHANCE

Red will be

The wandering singer
WHERE IS HE?

in memory

in his house

AT THE SUITORS’ BALL

I do
as I dance

What people did, what they’re going to do
