"Le Pont Mirabeau"

I've always had such a great appreciation for grandeur architecture, and the new Prada Concept Store in "Paree" is no exception. The conceptualization of the story of a love lost, never to return, derives from a poem by Guillaume Apollinaire entitled ‘Le Pont Mirabeau’ according to thefashionspot.com. I love a good story behind a beautiful idea like this and it only makes me long more and more to save all my pennies for that trip across the Atlantic. :) What's just as amazing is the interior of such a magnificant exterior. It's almost like walking into a palace of elegance and impeccable style.

And I present to you le poeme of inspiration:

Beneath Pont Mirabeau there flows the Seine
and so our loves.
How much must I again
recall that joy will ever follow pain?
The night hours strike and have their say.
The days will leave, but here I stay.
Hand in hand and resting face to face
through bridging arms
we watch the waters race,
the waves so weary in their endless chase.
The night hours strike and have their say.
The days will leave, but here I stay.
Love goes on and like the water's flow
it goes away.
Life continues, slow
it seems, but hope is ever violent though.
The night hours strike and have their say.
The days will leave, but here I stay.
There pass the days and pass the weeks and then
that time is past
and love won't come again.
Beneath Pont Mirabeau there flows the Seine.
