Still Beauty [cor.] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Still Beauty [cor.]



The awful tale of Jean de Florette and Manon des
Sources is the kind of thing prescribed for kids to
force them to regard the world with prejudice - to
believe in people filled with avarice and revenge
as a necessary measure to balance the scales

Not showing that 2 wrongs never make a right,
a dense story forcing my mental cork down to
the bottom of depression, I shall not watch the
film made of these men - a summary is quite
enough to change the world into a den of sin

Let me return to my games which remake the
world into a glorious place of still beauty with-
out any sign of this depressing plot, I'll leave
it to whoever wants to cherish immoral ideas…

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Jean de Florette is a 1986 French period drama film
directed by Claude Beri and based on a novel by Marcel
Pagnol. It is followed by Manon des Sources and the films
take place in rural Provence - France. Two local farmers
trick a newcomer out of his newly inherited property, but
hurt themselves even more than their victims.
