It is on this point that Charles Koechlin makes a reservation about Ravel's poems, in his ':Charles Koechlin Traité de l'orchestration, 1941, ed. Max Eschig, vol.1, (p. 147) "Avoid also words that are rare and difficult to understand at first audition". The first tercet of Surgi de la croupe et du bond: ;Le pur vase d’aucun breuvage ;Que l’inexhaustible veuvage ;Agonise mais ne consent appears to be the most difficult, from this point of view.

Originally a "croupier" meant one who stood behind a gambler, with extra reserves of cash to back him up during a gambling session. The word derived from croupe (the rump of a horse) and was by way of analogy to one who rode behind on horseback. It later came to refer to one who was employed to collect the money from a gaming-table.Oxford English Dictionary, Croupier Originally a "dealer" meant one who was responsible for distributing cards or the player in the dealer position, regardless of whether or not that player was responsible for distributing the cards.

Travers: The horse is moving on four tracks, at an angle of 30°, the neck parallel to the rail, with the poll slightly bent to the inside, so that the eyebrow can be seen. Haunches-in, also called travers or tête au mur ("head to the wall" in French), is a lateral movement used in the dressage discipline of horse training. It has a close cousin, haunches-out, renvers, or croupe au mur ("rump to the wall"), that is slightly more difficult. Both movements are four-track, meaning they produce four lines of hoof prints in the sand, as opposed to the usual two seen if the horse is straight and to the three-track shoulder-in.

French poet, burned at the stake for "atheism," but in particular for having written the poem below. Amis, on a brûlé le malheureux Chausson... 1661 Amis, on a brûlé le malheureux Chausson, ce coquin si fameux, à la tête frisée; sa vertu par sa mort s'est immortalisée: jamais on n'expira de plus noble façon. Il chanta d'un air gai la lugubre chanson et vêtit sans pâlir la chemise empesée, et du bûcher ardent de la pile embrasée, il regarda la mort sans crainte et sans frisson. En vain son confesseur lui prêchait dans la flamme, le crucifix en main, de songer à son âme; couché sous le poteau, quand le feu l'eut vaincu, l'infâme vers le ciel tourna sa croupe immonde, et, pour mourir enfin comme il avait vécu, il montra, le vilain, son cul à tout le monde.
