La Terre est bleue comme une orange

"The Earth is blue like an orange"

is the first line of a poem by French surrealist poet Paul Éluard, whose birthday was yesterday. Éluard, born Eugène Émile Paul Grindel, was one of the founders of the Surrealist movement in France, but broke from the group when he joined the Communist Party. See the entire poem in its original French, and in English, here, thanks to the University of Toronto.
