"Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée" is a celebrated collection of poems by the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire, first published in 1911. This work is a prime example of Apollinaire's innovative approach to poetry, blending traditional forms with modernist sensibilities. The collection consists of 30 short poems, each dedicated to a different animal, ranging from the mythical to the mundane. The title itself references the ancient tradition of bestiaries, which were medieval compendiums of animals, both real and fantastical, often imbued with moral and allegorical meanings.

Apollinaire's "Le Bestiaire" is notable for its concise and evocative language, as well as its playful and sometimes enigmatic tone. Each poem is accompanied by woodcut illustrations by Raoul Dufy, a prominent French Fauvist painter. These illustrations add a visual dimension to the text, enhancing the reader's experience and interpretation of the poems. The collaboration between Apollinaire and Dufy is a testament to the interdisciplinary nature of early 20th-century avant-garde art.

The collection opens with a poem dedicated to Orpheus, the legendary musician and poet from Greek mythology, who serves as a guiding figure throughout the work. This invocation of Orpheus sets the stage for a journey through a symbolic and imaginative landscape, where each animal represents different facets of human experience and emotion. Apollinaire's use of animals as metaphors allows him to explore themes such as love, death, beauty, and the passage of time in a manner that is both whimsical and profound.

"Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée" is considered a significant contribution to modernist literature and has influenced numerous poets and artists. Its blend of classical references, innovative form, and visual art exemplifies Apollinaire's role as a pioneer of literary modernism and his enduring impact on the arts.
