CÉLINE Louis-Ferdinand (1894-1961).
L.A.S. "LFC", [Kørsør] December 31 [1947], to his friend Georges GEOFFROY| 3 fol. pages, envelope.

Wishes him a Happy New Year, and encourages him to come and see him... "I see you still very melancholy with your Hélène! And damn, she laughs well, fucks well, eats well. And she'll take care of you, just in case.... If you're cave enough to let yourself be put in the closet, in a possible jam jar!" Let him do like Popol [Gen-Paul] who "enjoys second by second. Do the same, damn it! Tomorrow, when [the] Chinese are on the Place de la Concorde, it won't be the memory of Hélène that will make up for lost time! [...] When you're condemned to death, you go straight to the essential and never leave it. 4 years of filthy misery and nameless torment take away the taste for meaningless fuss. [...] The free man is the one with money in his pocket. So life, girls, freedom, love and, by God, youth!
