This
Plain TeX
file has a very crude randomizer which can typeset a new poem every
minute. Assuming that the randomizer does not create too many
duplications and
that you do not waste too much time with futile things such as
sleeping,
this should enable you to read all the possible poems in a little over
three million years. This definitely lacks the low tech charm of the
original
book version (Gallimard, 1961), which can be bought from many good
sources,
such as alapage.fr , fnac.fr or amazon.fr .
