Salut Helene! Yes, that is the old woman's little doll. I neglected to put the title of the poem ("Doll Baby").  This woman apparently had no children but her apartment was full of dolls, whose clothes she washed and hung out to dry (the inspiration for the little poem).

What I really like, on this view of the back of the card with Benjamin Peret verses, is that someone at the post office carefully canceled the century-old stamps that I had stuck on as decoration or as a decoy.

@Awyn

Great photo, on the right on the thread is it a doll?

Comment by Hélène LAGACHE yesterday

Nicolas de la Casinière loves the poetry of Benjamin Peret, a French writer and surrealist poet, and shares one of this author’s texts.

Next door, last summer, on the old woman’s clothesline:

It will never grow up,

or not need her -

or leave, or ever

disappoint

Merci Isabelle . Je t'ai envoyé un message en"privé".

Comment by Isabelle Dehennin on Thursday

Bonjour Hélène, petit mot en passant :
le français n’est pas ma langue maternelle (je suis néerlandophone), ce qui explique peut-être la sobriété de mes textes.
Je suis bilingue en pratique, et sensible aux passages entre langues.

Ceci dit, j’aime beaucoup tes collages.
Merci pour tes lectures.
Amitiés,
Isabelle
