Song lyrics, Tea for the Tillerman (1970)

Un jour
Un jour je m'attendais moi-même
Je me disais Guillaume il est temps que tu viennes
Pour que je sache enfin celui-là que je suis
Moi qui connais les autres
"Cortège", line 19; translation from Roger Shattuck (trans.) Selected Writings of Guillaume Apollinaire (New York: New Directions, 1971) p. 75.
Alcools (1912)

“The older I get, the surer I am that I’m not running the show.”
“I know I’m not the same man I was eight days ago.
And I know it’s time to find out who I am.”
