32 «Il y a la ville intérieure et la ville extérieure de pierre en constante modification. L essence de la poésie se trouve dans la rue. C est en son sein que l on peut encore découvrir la beauté cachée et l humanité des êtres.»* Georges Haldas * There is the inner city and outer city made of stone, constantly changing. The essence of poetry is in the street. It is in it that can still be discovered the hidden beauty and humanity of beings.
