Climate of Algiers
You are leaving a house
If you're cold, put on your coat
But you're too hot, so you take it off
You're cold! So you walk.
You've caught a cold! Put your overcoat back on
And to avoid getting too hot, you don't
Don't move anymore. But you're cold.
Well, go home and light a fire
And then open the window
Or don't open it.
Max Jacob. Souvenir of the exhibition. February 1933
