The Rebel

Loose Leaves – Looking Back

 

Albert Camus writes in L’Homme révolté (1951) that: “Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.”

 

 

Plus ça change,

plus c’est la même chose -

Je m’oppose aux deux.

 

(The more things change,

the more they remain the same -

I object to both.)

This poem was originally written and posted on Bluesky in response to a #haikufeels writing prompt: 'change.'
