WHAT IS GOOD//FRENCH POETRY RESEARCH//OUGD505

HOTEL DECOR:
For the inside of my hotel I have been thinking of ways I can design interior to fit the style of my branding, I want to screen print a poster for the breakfast room on to brown parchment stock, using black ink.  I think this would be in keeping with the rest of my hotel branding.  I have looked into French poets and french poetry to see whether I could use any text for the design.  

I came across this poem called 'breakfast' by Jaques Prevert, which I feel is a very simple and appropriate poster for the breakfast room of the hotel.

Déjeuner du matin
Il a mis le café
Dans la tasse
Il a mis le lait
Dans la tasse de café
Il a mis le sucre
Dans le café au lait
Avec la petite cuiller
Il a tourné
Il a bu le café au lait
Et il a reposé la tasse
Sans me parler
Il a allumé
Une cigarette
Il a fait des ronds
Avec la fumée
Il a mis les cendres
Dans le cendrier
Sans me parler
Sans me regarder
Il s'est levé
Il a mis
Son chapeau sur sa tête
Il a mis
Son manteau de pluie
Parce qu'il pleuvait
Et il est parti
Sous la pluie
Sans une parole
Sans me regarder
Et moi j'ai pris
Ma tête dans ma main
Et j'ai pleuré.

TRANSLATION IN ENGLISH:

Breakfast
He poured the coffee
Into the cup
He poured the milk
Into the cup of coffee
He put the sugar
Into the coffee with milk
With a small spoon
He stirred it
He drank the coffee
And he put down the cup
Without speaking to me
He lighted a cigarette
He made circles
With the smoke
He put the ash
Into the ashtray
Without a word
Without looking at me
He got up
He put a hat on his head
He put on his raincoat
As it was raining
And he left
Into the rain
Without speaking to me
Without looking me
And I put
My head into my hands
And I cried.
