Louis ARAGON (1897-1982). Autograph manuscript of 2 poems, Aline and Ciel de lit; 2pages in-8.
These two poems, composed around 1918-1920 and long unpublished, were collected by Aragon in Œuvres poétiques in 1975 as part of the "poèmes écartés de Feu de joie" (t. V). A manuscript had been sent to André Gide (preserved at the Bibliothèque littéraire Jacques Doucet); and Aragon had sent Ciel de lit to Paul Valéry.
Let's quote the beginning of Ciel de lit:
"The stove sings.
"How warm it is tonight!
Suddenly a tune comes into my head"...
On verso, pencil drawing of a head.
