You're coming to pieces!.... But only you can see me: because the mannekins are winking at me; the traffic lights give me three blue lights, and the oranges in the grocer's shop on the corner are throwing orange blossom at me. Come! so that thus, half dancing and half flying, I take off the melon to greet you, I present you a taxi flag, and I say to you...
