Couple trempé dans son printemps
L'or de l'herbe le plomb du ciel
Séparés par les flammes bleues
De la santé de la rosée
Le sang s'irise le cœur tinte
Un couple le premier reflet
Et dans un souterrain de neige
La vigne opulente se dessine
Un visage aux lèvres de lune
Qui n'a jamais dormi la nuit.
Paul Eluard, "A Marc Chagall", Le dur désir de durer, 1946
