la pipe à tabac est cassée
Look do I have to explain everything?
Ceci n'est pas un pipe references the "Treachery of Images" by Magritte
Where the painting highlights the gap between the picture and meaning
In this case the door is quite clearly not a gate
And because it is not in use it is broken.
Even though it's not a gate
I mean it
Next time you have to work it out yourself.
It's not easy being profound you know.
Do you think using French is a bit pretentious?
