Quotes
- La pendule fait tic-tac-tic-tic
Les oiseaux du lac pic-pac-pic-pic
Glou-glou-glou font tous les dindons
Et la jolie cloche ding-dang-dong- The clock goes tic-tac-tic-tic
The birds of the lake pic-pac-pic-pic
Glou-glou-glou go all the turkeys
And the pretty bell ding-dang dongBut... BOOM!
When our heart goes Boom,
All else says Boom
And it is Love that awakens.- "Boum!" (1938) - Performance in La route enchantée (1938)

To the reflections silver
The sea
Of the changeable reflections
