Reconstruction taken from Paul Eluard, in the first issue of his journal Proverbe (February 1920): "Les mots s’usent à force de servir, et quand ils ont une fois réussi ne donnent plus beaucoup d’eux-mêmes" ["Words wear out from service, and when they have once succeeded no longer give much of themselves"]
