Henri Rousseau

"We salute you Gentle Rousseau you can hear us.

Delaunay, his wife, Monsieur Queval and myself.
 Let our luggage pass duty free through the gates of heaven.

We will bring you brushes paints and canvas.

That you may spend your sacred leisure in the light and Truth of Painting.

As you once did my portrait facing the stars, lion and the gypsy."

-Quillaume Apollinaire
