"il s'assurera que toutes choses sont dans l'état où il les a laissées"" Autograph letter signed to his lover Marie Richon

1866866021866. Fine. lundi soir 1866 13.30 x 20.90 cm une page sur un bifeuillet Autograph letter signed by Alexandre Dumas to his mistress Marie Richon. 6 lines on one page of a bifolium of laid paper with the writer's crowned initials. « Chère amoi sic Ton ami arrivé moulu brisé de deux nuits de voitures et de chemins de fer. Il t'attend demain soir mardi. Oh ce sera avec grand bonheur qu'il s'assurera que toutes choses sont dans l'état où il les a laissées a toi » Nothing is known of this affair with Marie Richon addressed to this mistress evidently sensitive to literature ""Fais-moi de bons vers pour mon retour"" he requests of her in another note. Actress society woman or woman of learning the mystery remains complete around this character who inspires in the insatiable Dumas a torrid correspondence. He notably arranged meetings with his mysterious conquest at his residence on Boulevard Haussmann where he had settled from 1865 onwards. A sentence from Dumas in another note tells us that she even met Dumas's daughter who lived with her father and endured the visits of his mistresses ""elle t'adore - ou plutôt nous t'adorons"" he would write to her. This missive can probably be situated during 1866 when the writer was preparing the theatrical adaptation of his novel Gabriel Lambert and mentions in a letter a reading of the play created at the Ambigu-Comique on March 16 1866. The last years of his life did not belie his immeasurable love of women; during this period rich in adventures he also shared his nights with the feminist and gerontophile Olympe Audouard as well as the famous Adah Isaacs Menken whose portraits alongside the writer were divulged by their indiscreet photographer. Handsome letter filled with anticipation from the hand of the great writer and addressed to a mysterious mistress still unknown to biographers. unknown

"Naïs et Chloé"" Poème saphique autographe inédit signé d'Alexandre Dumas Unpublished handwritten sapphic poem signed by Alexandre Dumas

1860640961860. Fine. s. d. circa 1860 20.60 x 27.60 cm un feuillet remplié DUMAS Alexandre Naïs et Chloé. Unpublished handwritten sapphic poem signed by Alexandre Dumas N. d. c. 1860 206 x 276 cm one folded leaf Autograph manuscript poem signed by Alexandre Dumas bearing the title Naïs et Chloé 84 verses in black ink on a blue folded leaf of paper. A few tiny tears without damage to the text invariably produced when a leaf of paper is folded. A very rare manuscript of a long unpublished poem depicting the love of Naïs and Chloé the writing of which is motivated by the admiration and tribute paid by Alexandre Dumas to one of the greatest figures of ancient poetry Sappho. A prolific novelist Dumas rarely tried his hand at poetry; Naïs et Chloé by its length constitutes a hapax in the literary production of this writer. The text remains unpublished to this day and is here enhanced by the elegant calligraphy of its author. The poem is made up of 21 quatrains among which stands a remarkable insertion of the most famous verse by Sappho to the beloved woman the title of which is preserved in the very body of the text. This embedding is part of the verve with which Dumas defends the poetic and evocative force of the writing of Sappho whom he elevates to the rank of the star of the world of Poetry: Il est au sein des mers s'appuyant à l'Asie Entre l'heureuse Smyrne et la sombre Lemnos Une île aux bois fleuris chers à la Poésie A qui Venus donna le doux nom de Lesbos. Quand du chantre divin la voix fut étouffée Que du nom d'Euridice elle eut frappé l'écho Le flot roula tête et la lyre d'Orphée Sur la rive où plus tard devait naître Sapho Sapho naquit la lyre en ses mains fut remise Les sons qu'elle en tira jusqu'à nous sont venus. Translated with conscientious care by the author the poem borrowed from Sappho in which that most famous verse emerges this one I say is equal to the gods is found in several places in Dumas' work particularly in the chapter entitled les vers saphiques of San Felice and in a collection of articles dedicated to the great female figures where she sits alongside Joan of Arc and Margaret of Anjou. For Dumas it is a matter of remaining faithful to the written verses and rendering their sensuality often blurred by previous translators: The translations of these two poets often appear to lack not only ancient color but are inadequate in their lesbian ardor Les étoiles du monde Galerie historique des femmes les plus célèbres de tous les temps et de tous les pays. Above and beyond this translation Dumas is imbued with the lyricism of Sappho without losing his own romantic vein and he paints the sapphic love of Naïs and Chloé in an erotic light: Oh seule palpitante échevelée et nue Une main sur ma gorge et l'autre. Oh ma Naïs Serre moi dans tes bras et sois la bien venue Car à force d'amour. tiens. tiens je te trahis Et l'on n'entendit plus alors dans la nuit sombre Que le bruit des baisers répétés par l'écho Car Nais et Cloé se taisaient et dans l'ombre Clinias s'enfuyait en maudissant Sapho. The poem testifies to the continuous interest that the authors of the late 19th century showed toward sapphism and to the personage of the reader-voyeur here embodied by Cleinias whose most famous occurrence remains Zola's Nana. Exceptional and long autograph sapphic poem by Alexandre Dumas. $ 10 000 unknown
