"Adieu / Rien n'est commencé les projets somillent toujours dans la pierre [...]" Apparently unpublished, at least as it stands.

FLOUQUET (director of Journal des Poètes, a Belgian poetry weekly) to whom he advises contemporary poets from Central and Eastern Europe: ""Here are the corrected proofs. For Romanian poetry, Tudor Arghezi strikes me as the perfect choice. He's a great living poet. I seem to have read translations by him in Cahiers du Sud [...] For Hungary, Ady, of course, but among the contemporaries, Jules Illyès seems to me to be just the thing [...] P. Poland: J. Tuwim, recently dead. Bulgaria: Eluard wrote poems in French by a Bulgarian poet whose name I don't remember. Czechoslovakia: I know Czech poetry fairly well, but I haven't heard of Hrubin. By de Nezval [...] and Halas [...]"". With certificate from the Argonautes bookshop dated May 8, 1980.
