Designs for an inscription on the new casino at Cabourg

Happy I would be if the season brings back
Those Pelasgian days when Germaine could be seen

Another:
Had I been born Birier, Montemarte or Divonne

By your three points, Germaine, Yvonne, one day Gisèle,
That always make up my isosceles triangle!
My heart, smitten with certainty, is struggling
To say if it prefers Yvonne or else Germaine
The rest cannot be quoted by letter
even those over whom I have wavered much.
