SANS BRUTALITE



According to the scholar Donald Keene
French trains used to have signs
Urging that windows be opened
Vivement mais sans brutalite
Vigorously, but without brutality;
If my father were here I would tell him this
As well as Junius Brutus Booth’s decision
To play Julius Caesar on tiptoe.
