Right, you'll have to bear with me while I take you through it.
The image below is a copy of a piece of poetry written by a French poet called Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918). Apollinaire is regarded as one of the founding fathers of surrealism in art.
Some of his most famous work is a set of poems written in Calligrammes, which are a way to draw a shape with the words of a sentence. The image below is a poem called "La mandoline, l'oeillet et le bambou", whic translates as "The Mandolin, The Carnation and the Bamboo".
The mando is on the left, the flower on the right, and the bamboo is lying sideways at the bottom of the picture...
Enjoy!
