Printemps des Poètes 12-28 mars 22

The 24th Printemps des Poètes takes place from March 12 to 28, 2022 on the theme of the ephemeral.

You can't hold anything in your hand and convince yourself that you have it forever. It will inevitably leak, evaporate, sink. You open your hand and you find nothing, nothing. At fourteen, I understood that. Since then, I want to be like this thing in the hand, elusive, volatile and belonging to no one.

Golshifteh Farahani, godmother of the 24th spring

The Pure France team pays tribute to the poet Andrée Chédid by sharing her poem D'instant en instant

From moment to moment

From moment to moment
Sprouts the time that weaves me
Pass the time that stalks me
The time that escapes me is shortened

from moment to moment
Captive of rushing time

I sail

On the games of dreams

On the flow of the present

On the impulse of the soul

On the eddies of the heart

from moment to moment

To the rhythm of time that shapes us

Our shadows are struggling

On the web of life.

And you, which poet inspires you?
