Beautiful letter from Jean cocteau to henry de montherlant when he entered the French academy. Don't worry about the academy - it's a phantasm and if you want to realize that nothing changes read the duke's book of strength "on the margins of the academy" published by maurice boy. The only strange thing is that we are under this dome that refused castlebriand hugo vigny balzac and received people that neither you nor I knew and would have wanted to know. They want you and they'll have you at all costs. (they begin to realize) resign. Henry de montherlant was elected to the French academy on 24 March 1960, without any other competitor in the chair of andré Siegfried. He had not conducted any application visits, which he refused to accept. Agoraphobe, or pretending to be, he was received by the Duke of levis mirepoix on 20 June 1963 only in a reading committee session. Cocteau, after having himself been elected to the academy, already confided in a first letter to montherlant in 1955:' they wanted me and they want you...

Believe me, the strange dome is in your line. To which he replied: "I agree to be from the academy, but I do not accept to run for it". This item is in the category "collections\letters, old papers\autographs\others".
