FLAUBERT Gustave (1821-1880)
Exceptional collection of four L.A. to his mistress Louise COLET,
S.l., 1846, 8 pages in-4 and 4 pages in-12 in ink, one envelope preserved with stamp.
Beautiful correspondence to his mistress Louise Colet in which it is question of rupture. One letter is signed "Ton" by Flaubert and one letter is dated by Louise Colet.
"When one seeks pleasure one finds it, but happiness is a usurer who makes you return one hundred for ten and I would not have loved you if you had been a woman of pleasure. That would have been worth it to me, and witty people like us should leave it at that. One must put one's heart into art, one's mind into the world, one's body where it feels good. Farewell, try to forget me. But I will never forget you. You only see the ends of things. Farewell again, no matter what, you will always find me.
