Original handwritten manuscript, in French, entitled “Titanic,” two onionskin pages, 8.25 x 10.75. The heavily corrected manuscript has six stanzas written out by Cocteau and was intended for the famous ballet he wrote for Diaghilev in 1917, with music by Erik Satie entitled ‘Parade.’ This is a pre-surrealist poem where the gypsy band was playing “Plus pres de toi mon Dieu” [Nearer My God to Thee], and the captain states “if we all dive the sharks may claim some of us.” A mild shade of toning and scattered light creases and wrinkles, otherwise fine condition.
