"I conclude this recital of my early collaborators in Princeton with the most important on of all: Res Jost whom I had met earlier in Copenhagen. Our deep friendship . . . began in 1949 after he had arrived at the Institute for a stay that would last until 1955. During that period we published two joint papers which I DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL FUNDAMENTAL. In the first of these dealing with the quantum theory of scattering processes we elaborated a method first proposed by Max Born in 1946. Having concluded the work we searched the literature for earlier contributions to our main result. We did not find anything until we came to Born's original paper where our problem was raised - but answered incorrectly." Pais A tale of two continents p. 253.

Apollinaire is considered one of the foremost poets of the early 20th century as well as one of the most impassioned defenders of Cubism and a forefather of Surrealism. He is credited with coining the term "Cubism" in 1911 to describe the emerging art movement and the term 'surrealism' in 1917 to describe the works of Erik Satie. The term Orphism 1912 is also his. He wrote poems without punctuation attempting to be resolutely modern in both form and subject. Apollinaire wrote one of the earliest Surrealist literary works the play The Breasts of Tiresias 1917 which became the basis for Francis Poulenc's 1947 opera Les Mamelles de Tirésias. Apollinaire was active as a journalist and art critic for Le Matin L'Intransigeant L'Esprit Nouveau Mercure de France and Paris Journal. In 1912 Apollinaire cofounded Les Soirées de Paris fr an artistic and literary magazine. Two years after being wounded in World War I Apollinaire died in the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918."
