SARTRE Jean-Paul (1905-1980).
autograph MANUSCRIT [for Mallarmé, ca. 1948]| 2 pages in-4 on graph paper (small tear at one corner).
Draft for the first outline of his study on Mallarmé.
Sartre, who greatly admired Stéphane MALLARMÉ, sketched this study in 1947| he took it up again in 1952, leaving it unfinished.
It was the 1952 text that was published by the journal Obliques in 1979, then by Gallimard in 1986. This manuscript, a sketch of the original version, contains a number of erasures and corrections, as well as significant variations from the final text.
We read Victor HUGO's evocation: "Le Père est là-bas, dans l'île, ses fils veulent découvrir dans sa retraite le symbole glorieux de la défaite poétique. For their part, they strive, through a kind of mystical communion, to participate, from the mainland, in this considerable Absence. Father and son are equally mad: one believes he is the exiled Poetry| the others play at embodying this allegory: the Exile of Poetry". And Sartre quotes verses by VERLAINE, commenting: "Of course: the writer proscribes the universe| but it is the universe that has begun. For years, poetry will restrain itself with affectation within limits that have been prescribed for it and that it cannot cross even if it wanted to| it will refuse to give up its place that no one invites it to leave. [...]
When literature cuts back on its lifestyle, we can guess that it no longer recruits its followers from the same circles. [...] Fallen, letters fall into the hands of scoundrels. [...] The poets of 1860 were for the most part modest civil servants who secretly reproached the Universe for not having made them either deputies or lovers. The surly dignity of the menial clerk and the sulky dignity of the unemployed bard merged"...
