André Breton wrote a text edited in Les Pas Perdus called Give everything away:
Give everything away.
Give away Dada.
Give away your wife, give away your misstress.
Put your children at the end of the woods.
Give away the rush for the shadow.
Give away a easy life if necessary, that which is given to you for a future situation.
Walk those roads away.
