101 101
“A SINGLE VERSE by Rimbaud,”
writes Dominique de Villepin,
the new French Prime Minister,

“Room 101 was the place where
your worst fears were realised
in George Orwell’s classic
Nineteen Eighty-Four.
writes Dominique de Villepin,

on a day’s horizon.
It sets it ablaze all at once,
explodes all limits,
draws the eyes
to other heavens.”
