Paul Valéry / Autograph Letter Signed / Poetry / The Pleiades

  
Autograph letter signed \"paul valéry\" to stone camo bets, 40 rue de villejust, September 1923 3 pages in-8 on bifeuillet trace of central fold. Beautiful poetic letter from paul valery about the pleiade. I couldn't expect such a charming letter to come to me from so far away.

But finally it is a graceful and natural act of poet to disdain the distance and to send a kind of flower through the vain network of latitudes. I am quite touched by this gesture to which I would like to respond a little better than I do.

But if I am so overwhelmed with a merciless correspondence, and moreover so tired that I do not know what to say thank you, without larticulating as I should, madressing to a poet of your pure and rare quality. Forgive me and believe in my very grateful feelings, as well as in deep esteem. As for the question of. Jury of the pleiade, I confess that jen is little informed. I attended the final session, where I learned the name of the winner, it is true that I was able to really examine the works of the competitors. But I'm sure we don't have to take into account the questions that this or that people like to ask us. We are jury and not court, and do not have to motivate.

And then I don't give us what right and on what basis, a quidam, even if he was a journalist, would put questions under our noses. After the First World War, paul valéry became a kind of official poet, immensely famous little fooled, he amused himself and filled with honors. In 1924, shortly after the letter was published, he became president of the French pen club, and was elected a member of the French academy the following year. He made a long stay in madagascar, which inspired many of his texts. The item \"paul valéry / autograph letter signed / poetry / the pleiade\" is on sale since Wednesday, June 10, 2020.
