This "The Owl" Tote bag is taken from Apollinaire’s Bestiary, illustrated by Raoul Dufy

The Owl is taken from the collection Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée , written by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1911. The owl, symbol of wisdom and knowledge, here represents the idea of introspection and inner vision. Apollinaire, with his poem, invites us to explore the depth and mysteries of the nocturnal world. This tote bag, inspired by this illustration, becomes a tribute to wisdom and insight.

Raoul Dufy illustrates the owl with crisp lines and a composition that conveys its mysterious and wise character. The illustration captures the owl's tranquility at night, while highlighting its sharp, attentive gaze. This bag, combining poetic and visual art, celebrates the importance of silence and observation in the quest for knowledge.

Carry this bag to embody reflection, insight, and wisdom. This tote bag is ideal for those seeking depth and contemplation in their daily lives. A perfect accessory for those who honor the mysteries of life and the search for truth.

Text of the poem:

My poor heart is an owl
Let's nail, let's unnail, let's nail again.
He is at his wit's end, his blood and his ardor.
All who love me, I praise.
