COCTEAU JEAN: (1889-1963) To his lover Jean Marias, ”Nothing in the world exists apart from your news” - COCTEAU JEAN: (1889-1963) French Poet, Playwright, Novelist, Artist, Filmmaker and Critic. A very private and tender letter with excellent content, also referring to Hitler, A.L.S., with his star, as was his occasional custom, by Cocteau, one page, 4to, n.p., n.d., to Jean Marais, in French. Cocteau sends this warm letter to his lover Jean Marais, during WWII time, stating in part ` Mon Jeannot, Dire que j´ai la chance d´avoir des lettres qui s´envolent de ton clocher en zig zag et arrivent au Palais Royal. Rien au monde n´existe en dehors de tes nouvelles. Sache-le...´ (Translation: ” My Jeannot, I have to say that I am lucky enough to have letters that fly from your bell tower in a zigzag and arrive at the Palais Royal. Nothing in the world exists apart from your news. You have to now it..”) Further Cocteau refers to the Parisian apartment he shares with Jean Marais, saying ` Hier je craignais de perdre notre appartement car le propriétaire me faisait un contrat inacceptable, hélas. Je l´ai vu cet après-midi et nous avons fini par nous mettre d´accord sur un bail... tu vois que, lorsqu´il s´agit de notre avenir, je ne chôme pas. J´ai un espoir sans bornes...´ (Translation: ” Yesterday I was afraid of losing our apartment because the owner made me an unacceptable contract, unfortunately. I saw him this afternoon and we ended up agreeing on a lease... you see that, when it comes to our future, I am not idle. I have boundless hope...”) Further again, and before concluding, Cocteau refers to Hitler using his capital initial ”H”, and stating ` Tout ce qui arrive est atroce. On paye des fautes. Mais lui, H commet des fautes dans l´espace et dans le temps que seuls des gens comme nous devinent et sentent... Son apothéose ne peut qu´aller en queue de poisson. Je guette, je veille et je dors dans ta tour.´ (Translation: ” Everything that is happening is atrocious. We are paying for mistakes. But him, H, commits mistakes in space and time that only people like us guess and feel... His apotheosis can only end in a damp squib. I watch, I look after and I sleep in your tower.”) Very small minor age wear to edges, otherwise VG
