Amsterdam, 1958. Fine.

Superbe description picturale de la ville et de sa topographie qui surprend le poète : ""Ce quadrillage de canaux et le carrelage de tulipes nous laissent en grande indécision. [...] Ce pays est très beau décidément."" Elisa, l'épouse de Breton, a ajouté quelques lignes d'une tonalité toute surréaliste à la suite du texte principal : ""Elisa à Amsterdam est issue d'un moule de pain d'épices et d'une entorse en puissance d'antiquaires."" Jean Schuster (1929-1995) rejoint le groupe surréaliste en 1947. Proche de Benjamin Péret et André Breton, il deviendra l'exécuteur testamentaire de ce dernier.
