Nice set of eleven poems for Fureur et mystère.
Published in 1948, Fureur et mystère gathers three previous collections, and two new sets to which these eleven poems belong: the first five are part of the section Les Loyaux Adversaires, the last six of the cycle La Fontaine narrative.

Crayon du prisonnier (5 verses with a correction) : "Un amour dont la bouche est un bouquet de brume"...
Cur secessisti? (in prose) : "Snow, child's caprice"...
This smoke which carried us (in prose) : "This smoke which carried us was sister of the stick which disturbs the stone and of the cloud which opens the sky"...
La Patience, suite of 4 poems (2 pages) : The mill (5 verses): "A long noise that goes out by the roof"...| Vagabonds (4 verses): "Vagabonds, under your soft rags"...| The number (5 verses, correction to the last one): "They say words that stay in the corner of their eyes"...| Auxiliaries (8 verses, original title crossed out: Watch report): "Those that it is necessary to attach on earth"...
Fastes (in prose) : "The summer sang on its favorite rock when you appeared to me"...
The swift (6 verses) : "Swift with the too wide wings, which turns and shouts its joy around the house, such is the heart"...
Madeleine à la veilleuse by Georges de la Tour (prose) : "I would like today that the grass was white to found the evidence to see you suffer"...
To a warlike fervor, signed and dated "(25-12-47)" (7 verses, 2 pages, numerous erasures and corrections| at the bottom of the 2nd page, crossed-out note from
Char in blue pen: "written to S. You must walk more slowly, little girl without a heart"): "Our Lady of Lights, who remain alone on your rock"...

At the bottom of each text, the title of the collection (Fureur et mystère) and the page number corresponding to the bottom of each poem have been added in blue pen and pencil.
The 3 letters to the bookseller and collector Roland SAUCIER (1899 - 1994), November 16-23, 1948, inform on the history of these poems. On November 16, he sends him "in communication [...] eleven of my poems (Fureur et mystère)", as well as André Breton's La Nuit du Tournesol (The Night of the Sunflower), specifying: "There is no complete manuscript of F. and M.". On November 23, he indicates: "However extraordinary it may seem to you, I do not fall into the category of authors whose manuscripts are copied in perpetuity. Since 1944 I think I have sold, on his request, only to Matarasso poems written by me (I usually offer them [...] I burn most of my drafts and I am sometimes very surprised to have burned the original even without hope of reinventing it, so much fire is my ally and my confidant". He sells Saucier Breton's manuscript and
Breton's manuscript and offers him his own...
