COCTEAU, JEAN
(1889 - 1963) French poet, novelist and playwright, author of Les Enfants Terribles, and one of the most creative artists of this century as well. Fine content A.L.S. "Jean Cocteau" 1p. 4to., [n.p.], Apr. 12, 1923, in French to a lady, in part: "...Your letter touched me. It arrived on a beautiful evening that Greeley and Gony drank Vermouth and I came back from sunbathing...Letters which come from afar and which are not encouraging are the type which make me...appreciate yours. I find in them...the intellectual snobbery which I hate. The feeling of eternal failing to have enthusiasm does not give an account of healthy eccentricity on the one hand, or a great heart...on the other...Voila, a great solitude...". Ragged left margin, else boldly penned and very good.
