  DADA EXCITES EVERYTHING
  
  DADA knows everything. DADA spits everything out.
  
  BUT . . . . . . . . .
  
  HAS DADA EVER SPOKEN TO YOU:
  
  about Italy
  about accordions
  about women's pants
  about the fatherland
  about sardines
  about Fiume
  about Art (you exaggerate my friend)
  about gentleness
  about D'Annunzio
  what a horror
  about heroism
  about mustaches
  about lewdness
  about sleeping with Verlaine
  about the ideal (it's nice)
  about Massachusetts
  about the past
  about odors
  about salads
  about genius, about genius, about genius
  about the eight-hour day
  about the Parma violets
  
  NEVER NEVER NEVER
  
  DADA doesn't speak. DADA has no fixed idea. DADA doesn't catch flies.
  
  THE MINISTRY IS OVERTURNED. BY WHOM?
  
  BY DADA
  
  The Futurist is dead. Of What? Of DADA
  
  A Young girl commits suicide. Because of What? DADA
  The spirits are telephoned. Who invented it? DADA
  Someone walks on your feet. It's DADA
  If you have serious ideas about life,
  If you make artistic discoveries
  and if all of a sudden your head begins to crackle with laughter,
  If you find all your ideas useless and ridiculous, know that
  
  IT IS DADA BEGINNING TO SPEAK TO YOU
  
  cubism constructs a cathedral of artistic liver paste
  WHAT DOES DADA DO?
  expressionism poisons artistic sardines
  WHAT DOES DADA DO?
  simultaneism is still at its first artistic communion
  WHAT DOES DADA DO?
  futurism wants to mount in an artistic lyricism-elevator
  WHAT DOES DADA DO?
  unanism embraces allism and fishes with an artistic line
  WHAT DOES DADA DO?
  neo-classicism discovers the good deeds of artistic art
  WHAT DOES DADA DO?
  paroxysm makes a trust of all artistic cheeses
  WHAT DOES DADA DO?
  ultraism recommends the mixture of these seven artistic things
  WHAT DOES DADA DO?
  creationism vorticism imagism also propose some artistic recipes
  WHAT DOES DADA DO?
  
  WHAT DOES DADA DO?
  
  50 francs reward to the person who finds the best
  way to explain DADA to us
  
  Dada passes everything through a new net.
  Dada is the bitterness which opens its laugh on all that which has been made consecrated forgotten in our language in our brain in our habits.
  It says to you: There is Humanity and the lovely idiocies which have made it happy to this advanced age
  
  DADA HAS ALWAYS EXISTED
  THE HOLY VIRGIN WAS ALREADY A DADAIST
  
  DADA IS NEVER RIGHT
  
  Citizens, comrades, ladies, gentlemen
  
  Beware of forgeries!
  
  Imitators of DADA want to present DADA in an artistic form which it has never had
  
  CITIZENS,
  
  You are presented today in a pornographic form, a vulgar and baroque spirit which is not the PURE IDIOCY claimed by DADA
  
  BUT DOGMATISM AND PRETENTIOUS IMBECILITY
