Max JACOB. Autograph poem with drawings, [Noël]; 1page in-4. Heavily worked draft, overloaded with erasures and corrections, of a poem collected in L'Homme de cristal (1967, p.64), where it is subtitled "(inspired by Rilke)". It consists of some twenty lines: "God is fulfilled spring in Judean winter and with all its strength the world turns like a young year"... 3 pen-and-ink drawings adorn the page: a man holding a shrub (Jesse?), the head of a sleeping Christ, the head of a prophet.
