ALWAYS: Guillaume Apollinaire for Madame Faure-Favier.

The poem "Always" by Guillaume Apollinaire explores themes of perpetual searching and discovery, using cosmic imagery such as planets, nebulae, and comets to symbolize a restless quest for new forces and understanding. It reflects on the paradox of moving forward without true advancement and contemplates the concept of forgetting as a necessary part of discovery. The poem questions who will be the modern equivalent of Christopher Columbus, capable of causing the forgetting of a continent, emphasizing the idea of loss as integral to finding victory.
