Item # 4030 - Antique Black White IG Postcard from France
"Ah! mon pauvre Fido, quand, tes yyeux sur les miens,
Le silence comprend nos muets entretiens;
Quand, au bord de mon lit, eplant si je veille,
Un seul souffle inegal de mon sein te reveille;
Que, lisant ma tristesse en mes yeux obscurcis,
Dans le pli de mon front tu cherches mes soucis,
Et que, pour le distraire, attirant ma pensee,
Tu mords plus tendrement ma main vers toi baissee,
Non, tu n'es pas du coeur la vaine illusion,
Du sentiment humaine une derision,
Un corps organise qu'anime une caresse,
Automate trompeur de vie et de tendresse.
(Meditations.)"

Here is an antique black and white postcard from France. It features the portrait of a gorgeous Italian Greyhound.

For those of you who are fluent in French... the text is shown above.
