COCTEAU, Jean - Handwritten letter to 'Cher monsieur'.

 1532374286,
22.5 x 18 cm. One page torn from a cahier, lined, laid paper. Only recto. Signed 'Jean Cocteau' and dated 'Le Lavandou/ Var/ 15 juillet 1922'. 16 lines of text. Folded twice, two spots on the left. Cocteau was ill and thanks the addressee for his book, which he received through (Pascal) Pia and in which Cocteau apparently appears: 'Vous etes notre agriculteur. On voit comme dans une ruche de verre le travail des abeilles. Mais pourqoui donc avez vous supprimé une phrase qui m'isolait ce qui m'enchante toujours'. In a postscript written on its side, Arthur Rimbaud comes around the corner: 'Votre phrase sur mon goût des columes "est oracle" dirait Rimbaud'.
