HEREDIA José-Maria de (1842-1905).
Autograph poem, Un nom| 1 page in-4 in purple ink.
This sonnet was collected in 1907 in the posthumous edition of Les Trophées (given by René Descamps-Scrive), in the series Le Moyen-âge et la Renaissance (Les Conquérants), but seems to have been written before the death of Théophile Gautier (1872), who, according to a "portrait sonnet" by Achille
Maffre de Baugé (José-Maria de Heredia, in La Vie moderne of 21 May 1887), considered the last line of Un nom as "the most beautiful verse in the French language".
The manuscript is beautifully calligraphed in violet ink on Imperial Treasury De La Rue laid paper.
"When I say aloud and from the depths of my throat The list of Lords who conquered the Val De Mexico, [...] I hear in the sounding air a noise of steel being forged. [...] And among these beautiful names, more vibrant than brass, there is one that holds a whole alexandrine, [...] Alonso Hernandez de Puertocarrero.
