"to Marcel Pareau, 
with kind regards
Léon Vérane 1947

The lizard landscape

The cistus and broom crowns the hill,
The sea whitens between the pines on the horizon;
The irritated sun is sifting with bleach... 
The innocent roofs of houses.

The fishermen pulled their nets on the beach,
The sleeping birds have stopped their concert
And the supple lizard signs the landscape 
of green-lit donation.

LV."

This poem in the book (page 42) was dedicated to Jean Tristani.

The book received on Poetry House Grand Prix...it's complete with the rare award announcement tape.

Employed at the town hall in 1904, married in 1909, Vérane published a first collection with the help of Paul Fort in 1910 and Vérane founded the magazine Les Facets which will appear with interruptions until 1946.
After the Great War he continued his literary activity: eight poetic works in about ten years, five studies and portraits, including an evocation of his native Toulon (1930).

He publishes three more poetic works, receives the Grand Prix de la Maison de Poésie, the Légion d'Honneur and in 1951, the Prix Auguste-Capdeville of the Académie Française for the whole of his poetic work.
