Guillaume Apollinaire
Guillaume Apollinaire was a French poet, playwright, and art critic, known for his contributions to the Surrealist movement and for coining the term 'surrealism'.
"Without poets, without artists... Everything would fall apart into chaos. There would be no more seasons, no more civilizations, no more thought, no more humanity, no more life even; and impotent darkness would reign forever. Poets and artists together determine the features of their age, and the future meekly conforms to their edit."
