FAURÉ Gabriel (1845 - 1924)
L.A.S. "Gabriel Fauré", Lugano [August 1913], to Joseph de MARLIAVE| 3 pages in-8, vignette and letterhead of the Grand Hotel
Métropole et Monopole (small cracks in the fold).
He is "in the dampness of this hot climate of Lugano| I had never breathed here an air at the same time as ardent and as perfumed. It is a real intoxication. [...] At first I sacrificed myself to the sweetness of the woman, but then I got into my stride and, for the past two weeks, I have worked much harder than the workers who are building the Conservatory Library! And when I think that you gave up the military profession to pay pensions to those guys, I feel the redness rise to your forehead! It is true that you have the compensation to live in the shade of an opulent beard. - Ah! here is one that I will not joke any more. Have you caught me enough, the household! I don't blame you| it was an impulse of gratitude" ....
