1797761731797. Fine. An exceedingly rare letter from Restif: « Les événemens du 18 fructidor' m'ont rendu la vie . en affligeant mon cur » 30 fructidor 1797 An V 16 septembre 1897 18.50 x 21.30 cm 3 pages sur un double feuillet Extremely rare autograph letter signed « Restif Labretone » addressed to Citoyenne Fontaine. Three pages written in black ink on a double sheet of laid paper. Remains of a wax seal folds inherent to mailing. This letter was published with some inaccuracies in Lettres inédites de Restif de Labretone by V. Forest and É. Grimaud 1883. The Fontaine couple are merchants from Grenoble and Restif de la Bretonne began corresponding with them on March 15 1797. Important letter testifying to the completion of the publication of Restif's great autobiographical work: Monsieur Nicolas ou les Ressorts du Cur Humain dévoilé. « I will have completed the Cur humain Dévoilé within 15 days I will prepare your package immediately to have it ready. » The first eight volumes of this great autobiographical work printed by Restif himself a typesetter by trade in his residence at 11 rue de la Bûcherie were entrusted to the « dishonest » bookseller Nicolas Bonneville who did not honor his debts to the writer. Besides health issues « I exchange my illnesses and do not cure them » Restif also shares with his correspondent his literary setbacks: « The Author of Nature will preserve a sincere friend for me to compensate for the scoundrels of the Institute and the perfidious Mercier ». Indeed the previous year the author learned with bitterness that he was not admitted to the National Institute and Louis-Sébastien Mercier who had praised him in his Tableau de Paris and supported his candidacy then turned away from him. To this sum of misfortunes financial difficulties are added. Penniless and living on meager state pensions he maintains all his support for the Republic: « By what fatality do I never see the views of the rulers who welcome me; or how do they not see at once that I am attached to the Revolution to the point that I still love it even when it beats me. » Restif profoundly anti-royalist wrote several pamphlets to this effect and had just added to the end of Monsieur Nicolas an apology for the coup d'état of 18 Fructidor Year V. However this date marks the end of the allowance granted to him by Lazare Carnot after his failure at the Institute: « You know the events of 18 Fructidor; I will not speak to you about them. They have given me back my life; but by afflicting both my heart and my gratitude. » But Restif's great sorrow is the loss of his daughter Filette born from his adventure with Louise Allan whose paternity was revealed to him only late: « I am writing to you from bed weeping over my Filette who died 11 months and ten days ago . Filette was my daughter and Louise's whose soul and beauty she had. » Autograph letters signed by Restif de La Bretonne that have survived to this day are extremely rare. unknown

191677521Paris 1916. Fine. Paris 15 mai 1916 11 x 16 cm 6 pages sur un double feuillet et un feuillet simple Autograph letter from Pierre Louÿs signed with his initial addressed to Georges Louis. Six pages written in violet ink on a double leaf and a single leaf. Central creases inherent to posting. Very fine letter addressed to his brother Georges Louis with whom Pierre Louÿs maintained a very intimate relationship and whom he considered as his own father. The question of the real identity of Pierre Louÿs's father still fascinates biographers today: ""His father Pierre Philippe Louis . had married in 1842 Jeanne Constance Blanchin who died ten years later after giving him two children Lucie and Georges. In 1855 he remarried Claire Céline Maldan and from this union was born in 1857 a son Paul; then in 1870 our writer who received the first names Pierre Félix. This late birth the differences in character between father and son the former's disaffection toward the latter the profound intimacy that always reigned between Louÿs and his brother Georges all this has led certain biographers and critics to suspect that the latter was in reality the writer's father. The exceptionally intimate and constant relationship that Pierre and Georges maintained between themselves all their lives could be an argument in this sense. Of course no irrefutable proof has been discovered and none will probably ever be discovered. Nevertheless certain letters . are quite disturbing. In 1895 for example Louÿs writes seriously to his brother that he knows the answer to ""the most poignant question"" he could ask him a question he has had ""on his lips for ten years."" The following year in the full triumph of Aphrodite he thanks Georges effusively and ends his letter with this sentence: ""Not one of my friends has a FATHER who is to him what you are to me."" Arguing from the close intimacy of Georges and Claire Céline during the year 1870 and the jealousy that the father never ceased to show toward his younger son Claude Farrère did not hesitate to conclude in favor of Georges Louis. And what to think of this dedication by Louÿs to his brother on a deluxe paper copy of the first edition of Pausole: For Georges his eldest son / Pierre."" Jean-Paul Goujon Pierre Louÿs A true reflection on literature and the choice of words this letter was written while Pierre Louÿs was working on a work that would appear the following year: Poëtique. ""Louÿs decides . to write a Poëtique which will be like the testament of his work as well as a message to young writers. He had always reflected on poetic art and accumulated dozens of notes both on poets and on poetry itself."" Ibid. To reflect on poetic art is precisely what he does in this fine letter: ""Regarding negation I wondered why the principle I tried to establish nuance ruse or error was not classical. I believe the answer is: Chimène. - We take the word as a text to teach high school students that negation is an additional force. - Ex. ""Je ne te hais point"" ""I do not hate you"" more expressive than ""Je t'aime"" ""I love you"". But no. Rodrigue has just said: ""Votre haine"" ""Your hatred"". It is Rodrigue who imprints the image. The response ""Je ne te hais point"" ""I do not hate you"" is the passage from shadow to light: it is to speak the nuance. . It is terribly delicate to write ""ne pas"" ""not""."" Then in a period of great trouble and isolation the poet is touched by Paul Valéry's support: ""The other day I had written a long letter to Valéry about my ""Poëtique."" - He answered me immediately a letter where he began by thanking me for all that he had felt of affection for him in the very fact that I had spent part of my evening with him without his being there. I answer him in turn - as much as I remember - ""It is so rare friends who suspect affection beneath something. There are hardly more than two kinds of people: those who do not lift the stone because they are certain there is not unknown

Twenty pages written in blue ink on five double sheets of graph paper. Enclosed is an envelope on which is written in pencil in Pierre Louÿs's hand: ""Letter of 20 pages about my stay in Limé"" Amusing letter addressed to his brother Georges Louis with whom Pierre Louÿs maintained a very intimate relationship and whom he considered as his own father. The question of Pierre Louÿs's real father's identity still fascinates biographers today: ""His father Pierre Philippe Louis . had married in 1842 Jeanne Constance Blanchin who died ten years later after having given him two children Lucie and Georges.

And what to think of this dedication by Louÿs to his brother on a deluxe copy of the first edition of Pausole: To Georges his eldest son / Pierre."" Jean-Paul Goujon Pierre Louÿs In this titillating letter bearing at the top the mention ""Papa doesn't know I'm writing you this letter"" underlined three times young Pierre Louÿs eighteen years old tells his elder about his vacation in Limé Aisne with the Glatron family. Visibly very excited he announces to his brother after some brief family news: ""And I have great news to announce to you which will decide the happiness of my life: I'm getting married. Don't look for a match for me anymore: I've found one."" In order to keep his reader in suspense he first tells him at length about his stay in Limé and paints a portrait of the Glatron family: ""Here first is the introduction to the little work I'm sending you by way of a letter and which may be very boring. It's the tableau of the Glatron family; it amused me to study them a bit while I was there. I wanted to find for each of them three or four words to paint them completely but I soon realized that I couldn't do so for any of them."" Far from being ""boring"" this very long passage allows Pierre Louÿs to deploy his talents as storyteller and caricaturist. Each member receives a colorful description ""the queen mother"" ""a nonentity"" ""a very special character"" ""petrified phlegm"" ""a repetitive Paulus"" ""the little invalid"". and Louÿs also gives pride of place to dialogues which he deliberately exaggerates: ""'I tell you that you took her by the waist! I saw you! Don't say no I saw you!'"" These humorous observations continue with the quasi-anthropological description of a village festival in Limé: ""I arrived in Limé the day before the patron saint's festival. unknown

Intertitude chaque jour sur la journée du lendemain."" You find me in the midst of an emphysema crisis. Doctors. Cupping. Potions. Regimen. Uncertainty each day about the next day. The letter also reveals the writer's passion for dramaturgy notably through the mention of Gustave Quinson then director of the Palais-Royal theatre.

Folds inherent to the mailing. René Char wrote this letter to René Wintzen editor-in-chief of the magazine Documents from 1929 to 1931. René Wintzen then began to publish a literary magazine Vent debout from which he sent Char a copy. The poet encourages him and tells him to persevere while ""discriminating the wheat from the chaff . "" René Char apologizes for not having a finished text to provide: ""I regret it. I write little and am only an accessory poet! "". This highlighting of a rare writing corresponds to René Char's idea of poetry and opposes the work advocated by Valéry. René Char writes little and submits to the demands of poetry: ""I never cheat. I have spent six months waiting for a word or a formula . This is the requirement of poetry. An absolute requirement. No words are free. Interview between René Char and Édith Mora Nouvelles littéraires 1965. The author also shows a distancing from poetry at the end of the decade. In fact Char experimented with new genres: he tried ballet with La Conjuration in April 1947 but also at the theater with Le Soleil des eaux music with Boulez and finally with the cinema. However he never leaves poetry and publishes the same year Poem sprayed . Char's modesty as to his status as a poet expresses the artist's subjection to the demand for poetry. unknown

This letter contains a handwritten alexandrine poem entitled Le Miroir; never published on the initiative of the poet but it has been transcribed in Renée Vivien et ses masques in à l'encart April 1980: Je t'admire et ne suis que ton miroir fidèle Car je m'abîme en toi pour t'aimer un peu mieux; Je rêve ta beauté je me confonds en elle Et j'ai fait de mes yeux le miroir de tes yeux Je t'adore et mon cur est le profond miroir Où ton humeur d'avril se reflète sans cesse Tout entier il s'éclaire à tes moments d'espoir Et se meurt lentement à ta moindre tristesse Ô toujours la plus douce ô blonde entre les blondes Je t'adore et mon corps est l'amoureux miroir Où tu verras tes seins et tes hanches profondes Ces seins pâles qui sont si lumineux le soir! Penche-toi tu verras ton miroir tour à tour Pâlir ou te sourire avec tes mêmes lèvres Où trembleront encore les mêmes mots d'amour Tu le verras frémir des mêmes longues fièvres Contemple ton miroir de chair tendre et nacrée Car il s'est fait très pur afin de recevoir Le reflet immortel de la beauté sacrée Penche-toi longuement sur l'amoureux miroir! The rest of this long missive has however remained unpublished. A very beautiful letter sent from London by the Muse aux Violettes who misses her little one: Despite its slowness time passes you see and brings the hour that I await feverishly the time to meet again Natalie! Two more sad evenings and the third you will be there to rock me in your arms! . Today I was still disproportionately bored. I so need to see you again that I count the hours as they pass. I only think of you obsessed haunted taken possessed by you and by our memories. I am a poor unhappy thing far from you. Weary of society life We had the queen's dressing room how chic my darling! Lady Augustus Fitz Clarence invited us. She descends from a bastard of the King and is therefore an illegitimate relative of the sovereign! Renée lingers on the contemplation of a present from her darling: Your ring I love it so much it is a bond of our love that never leaves me. I so regretted your dagger that at the last moment I forgot to carry. Your ring you see is your memory on my finger I look at it and part of our tenderness is embodied in it. It is at the end of 1899 and through Violette Shillito that Renée Vivien then Pauline Tarn met Natalie Clifford Barney ""this American woman softer than a scarf whose sparkling face shines with golden hair sea blue eyes never-ending teeth"" Colette Claudine à Paris. Natalie who had just experienced a summer romance with the scandalous Liane de Pougy who introduced her to sapphism paid little attention to this new acquaintance. Renée on the other hand was totally captivated by the young American woman and describes this love at first sight in her autobiographical novel Une femme m'apparut: ""I lived again the hour already well past when I saw her for the first time felt the shiver that ran through me when my eyes met the mortal steel of her look those eyes blue and piercing as a blade. I had a dim premonition that this woman would determine the pattern of my fate and that her face was the predestined face of my Future. Near her I felt the luminous dizziness which comes at the edge of an abyss or the attraction of a very deep water. She radiated the charm of danger which drew me to her inexorably.""

Quant à Baudelaire il lui dirait : ""Ma fille"" aux premiers regards échangés. Baudelairisme profond central générateur.""
