COCTEAU (Jean)

COCTEAU (Jean), 1889–1963. Manuscript of an apparently unpublished poem, originally intended for *Requiem* but omitted from the final version published by Gallimard in 1962. Cocteau addresses it to “Louis,” noting: “Here is one of the interludes that break up the stanzas of *Requiem*.” The text is titled “Le Dénicheur de nids.” The date at the top of the page is April 7, 1958, but the signature at the end is followed by the date 1959… 1 p. in-4 in blue ink.
