The poem signed Sacha and running 24 lines with the title contains one deletion and two additions and probably dates from 1945 the year of Sacha Guitry and Lana Marconi's marriage: ""Je suis ici dans ma maison. Ce n'est pas sans raison Que j'en tiens le pari Car je me fie aux apparences. . Et ma maison est dans Paris Qui lui se trouve en France. Quant à la France elle est bel et bien dans l'Europe. . Oui oui enfin l'Europe est dans le monde Et quant au monde il est jusqu'au cou dans la merde. . C'est ce qui fait qu'étant chez moi Je suis depuis des mois tellement emmerdé ! "" ""I am here in my house. / It is not without reason / That I hold the wager / For I trust appearances. / . / And my house is in Paris / Which is located in France. / As for France it is quite clearly in Europe. / . / Yes yes finally Europe is in the world / And as for the world it is up to its neck in shit. / . / That's what makes it so that being at home / I have been so screwed for months!"" To this poem we add: its autograph draft in pencil and containing numerous corrections with on the verso a draft title page for his work ""Elles et toi"". All on one leaf recto verso. Also present is a page of autograph notes concerning Lana Marconi dealing with sums of money: ""Lana a reçu 65 pièces de 20 $ et 18.500"" ""Lana received 65 pieces of $20 and 18500"" accounts but also buried in these pecuniary concerns verses. Introduced to Sacha Guitry by Arletty the actress Lana Marconi of Romanian origin was the fifth and last wife of the great man of theater. Nicknamed by him ""Mon cher renard"" ""My dear fox"" she shared Sacha Guitry's life from 1945 and married him on November 25 1949. This made him say with great humor: « Les autres furent mes épouses vous vous serez ma veuve » ""The others were my wives you will be my widow"" and « Ces belles mains fermeront mes yeux et ouvriront mes tiroirs » ""These beautiful hands will close my eyes and open my drawers"". The actress created seven plays and acted in twelve films by Sacha Guitry and only worked with him as director.
