MERMOZ JEAN (1901-1936)
Collection of 9 autographed poems. [Circa 1918-1919].
17 pages in-4, slight loss of paper without affecting the texts, of squared paper extracted from a notebook, black ink.
Nice set of nine autographed early poems by Jean Mermoz.
Nocturne (4 tercets in alexandrines followed by 54 short verses of 2 to 4 feet): "The setting sun bloodies the horizon, / And its crimson rays gliding over the grass / Tint the landscapes under the darkened skies. //
It seems that everything dies with voluptuousness / That the shattering abyss where each being is going to sink / Is an abyss of love that we must adore. [...]"|
L'Épave (4 tercets): "On the jagged coast, like a skeleton /
Half devoured by a bloodthirsty beast, / A large fishing boat raises its black silhouette. [...]"|
Landscape (32 lines): "The beautiful sunsets / That die on the shore, / And give the silver fl ot / A dreamy languor. [...]"|
Le Glas (7 quatrains): "Someone has died in the village? Is it a child or a man of age? A soul is no longer here below / Listen to the sounding of the dark knell! [...]"|
Suburb (12 lines): "A filthy tramway creaks up the street/Between two hedges of dusty trees... [...]"|
Easter (4 quatrains): "When I entered my village / A cheerful chime welcomed me. The bells sang with rage / On top of the country bell tower. [...]"|
The Angel of Sorrow (4 eight lines) : "When the Angel of Death / Pale messenger of the God / Who commands our fate / Carries to Heaven /
The soul of the beloved / From the eternal abode / Descends the Angel of the Father /
The Angel of Sorrow. [...]"|
La Chauve-Souris (4 quatrains followed by 12 verses) : "When the new day suddenly appeared / Surprised the bat in its nocturnal flight / The striped animal fled madly / Being able to bear only the brightness of the Moon. [...]"|
La Mort du Chien (32 verses) : "Huddled in the dark excavation of a quarry / The fur all sticky with sweat and dust / The mouth bleeding and disgusting with slime [...]".
