“All terribly...”

Context of the work

This calligram is handwritten by Apollinaire, who signs the drawing below the poem. Like many of his later texts, it blends intensity of feeling with formal brilliance, on the border of war poetry and love poetry.

What does Apollinaire's "Tout terriblement" say?

The poem declares that "now or never is the time to be sensitive to poetry, for it rules everything terribly": a tribute to poetry, written and signed by Apollinaire's own hand.

What size should I choose for this "Tout terriblement" poster?

This "Tout terriblement" poster is available in 30 x 40 cm, 40 x 50 cm and 50 x 70 cm. The 30 x 40 cm is suitable for a hallway, office or gallery wall; the 50 x 70 cm stands alone above a sofa or bed. The frame is not included, the sizes are standard and can be found in stores.

Gift idea for a modern poetry enthusiast, an Apollinaire reader, or anyone sensitive to the intensity of war and love writing.

Lean in close and you'll see the letters aren't perfectly crisp. That's because they come from a page written by hand more than 100 years ago. Between a clean copy in a modern font and the real type of the period, we chose the real thing.

Beautiful words deserve beautiful paper

These verses are set to be hung: a chosen typeface, measured margins, white space worked around the text. It is this layout that makes you want to read them again.

The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. You read it the way you read a book.

It is eco-friendly paper from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.

Hanging a poem is not the same as reading it once. The text stays there, you catch two lines in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.

There is a quiet pleasure in living with French literature in the original. The poem keeps the language it was written in, and with it the sound the writer chose, which no translation quite carries over. On an English-speaking wall it stops being decoration and becomes something with a little cachet: a piece of France you can read on your way past, every morning.

It earns the large format. At 50x70 cm the text is read from across the room, and the page holds a wall the way a painting does.
