Picnic

Jacques Prévert (1900-1977), Fatras (Paris: Gallimard, 1966), p. 121:
Mangez sur l'herbe
Dépêchez-vous
Un jour ou l'autre
L'herbe mangera sur vous
I.e.:
Picnic on the grass
Hurry up
One of these days
The grass will picnic on you

Édouard Manet, Déjeuner sur l'herbe

Thanks to Ian Jackson for help.
