Filippo Tommaso MARINETTI."Parole in libertà" (Manifesto) : Après la Marne, Joffre visita le front en auto, 1915, stampa su carta, 19,3 X 16. Milano, Collezione Calmarini
This poem celebrates the Battle of the Marne, in which the Allies stopped the German conquest of Europe and established the Western Front. Fashioned like a military map, Marinetti's poem portrays General Joseph Joffre's victorious tour of the troops after battle.The general follows winding roads in spirals that evoke his reversals in military strategy.
The letter M simultaneously refers to the word "Marne," renders the outline of mountains, and is the first letter of the words the general speaks: "Mon ami" and "Ma petite." The troops respond, "Vive la France" and "Mort aux boches" (Death to the Germans), while the "ta ta ta ta" and "toumb toum" of gunfire continues, at least in memory
