Tristan Tzara: Proclamation without Pretension
Art is going to sleep for a new world to be born
“ART”-parrot word-replaced by DADA,
PLESIOSAURUS, or handkerchiefThe talent THAT CAN BE LEARNED makes the
poet a druggist TODAY the criticism
of balances no longer challenges with resemblancesHypertrophic painters hyperaes-
theticized and hypnotized by the hyacinths
of the hypocritical-looking muezzinsCONSOLIDATE THE HARVEST OF EX-
ACT CALCULATIONSHypodrome of immortal guarantees: there is
no such thing as importance there is no transparence
or appearanceMUSICIANS SMASH YOUR INSTRUMENTS
BLIND MEN take the stageTHE SYRINGE is only for my understanding. I write because it is
natural exactly the way I piss the way I’m sickART NEEDS AN OPERATION
Art is a PRETENSION warmed by the
TIMIDITY of the urinary basin, the hysteria born
in THE STUDIOWe are in search of
the force that is direct pure sober
UNIQUE we are in search of NOTHING
we affirm the VITALITY of every IN-
STANTthe anti-philosophy of spontaneous acrobatics
At this moment I hate the man who whispers
before the intermission-eau de cologne-
sour theatre. THE JOYOUS WINDIf each man says the opposite it is because he is
rightGet ready for the action of the geyser of our blood
-submarine formation of transchromatic aero-
planes, cellular metals numbered in
the flight of imagesabove the rules of the
and its controlBEAUTIFUL
It is not for the sawed-off imps
who still worship their navel
