Short before "Alcools" went into press, Apollinaire decided to take off all punctuation marks: words, he said, were to give the music and the rythm to the reader. The magic totally works, and this poetry, that inspired surealism, is a rare achievement: somewhere between the classical and the modern "explosed" form of poetry, "Alcools" is a moment of grace.
