REVERDY Pierre [Narbonne, 1889 - Solesmes, 1960], poète fran - Lot 439
REVERDY Pierre [Narbonne, 1889 - Solesmes, 1960], poète français associé au cubisme et aux débuts du surréalisme Autograph poem signed "P.R.", entitled "One man's happiness". 1 page small in-8°. "He's so sparing He's so afraid of the blankets The blue blankets of the sky And the pillows of clouds He's so covered with his faith He's so afraid of the crooked steps And the streets carved in ice He's too small for winter He's so afraid of the cold He's so afraid of the cold He's so transparent in his ice He's so vague that he gets lost Time rolls him under its waves Sometimes his blood runs upside down And his tears stain the linen His hand picks the green trees And the seaweed clumps from the beaches His faith is a thorn bush His hands bleed against his heart His eyes have lost the light And his feet drag on the sea Like the dead arms of octopuses He is lost in the Universe He collides against him-itself and its crosses Pray, therefore, that the Lord will erase even the memory of Himself in its remembrance . P. R."
