APOLLINAIRE GUILLAUME: (1880-1918) French Poet, Playwright and Novelist. One of the forefathers of Surrealism, Apollinaire is credited with coining the word Surrealism. A good and unusual autograph manuscript page, two pages, 4to, n.p., [London], n.d., [1904-07], in French. Written to a book note cover, Apollinaire disorderly annotates upside down multiple thoughts, political and poetical ones, titles, or even loose sentences. Apollinaire states in part `La mort des sirenes´(`The death of mermaids´), `Je me réjouis parce que je ne sais rien
parce que j´ai le droit de ne plus rien croire..´(`I am delighted because I do not know anything
because it is my right not to believe anything anymore..´), `Avoir le courage de dire des mots sales´ (`To have the courage of saying dirty words´), `Il est évident qu´il n´y a pas de vide entre les astres
´ (`It is obvious that there is no empty space between the stars..´), `Masturbation.. civilisation.. couvents´ (`Masturbation.. civilisation.. convents´), `La littérature sofadique depuis la Révolution´, and to the verso `Que deviendra mon coeur parmi tous ses am..´ (`What will my heart become among all these..´). Uneven right edge. Very small overall minor staining and age wear. G
