Commemoration of Maurice Carême in Paris. The text reads: Eh oui ! Je le sais bien ! Je n'emporterai rien, Pas même l'ombre d'un nuage. Mais qu'elle est belle, dans ma main, Cette fraise sauvage! Eh yes ! I know it well ! I will not take anything, Not even the shadow of a cloud. But how beautiful, in my hand, This wild strawberry!
