__________
Goaded and harassed in the factory
That tears our life up into bits of days
Ticked off upon a clock which never stays,
Shredding our portion of Eternity,
We break away at last, and steal the key
Which hides a world empty of hours; ways
Of space unroll, and Heaven overlays
The leafy, sun-lit earth of Fantasy.
Beyond the ilex shadow glares the sun,
Scorching against the blue flame of the sky.
Brown lily-pads lie heavy and supine
Within a granite basin, under one
The bronze-gold glimmer of a carp; and I
Reach out my hand and pluck a nectarine.

Ginette Leclerc
as Denice Saillens in Le Corbeau
Released in September 1943 at the height of World War II, Le Corbeau was subject to notable controversy. It was produced by Continental Films, a German production company established near the beginning of the Occupation of France, and was pulled from theatres under the right-wing Vichy government due to its depiction of immoral characters and "thinly veiled references to the destructive nature of informing on your neighbors", a common practice under the Vichy government. The film also faced censorship efforts from the French Left after the war, as it had been perceived by the underground and the Communist press as vilifying the French people, depicting their national character as anti-Resistance. The political backlash over the film resulted in Clouzot initially being banned for life from directing in France, though this ban was ultimately lifted in 1947. The film remained suppressed until 1969.
