Stéphane MALLARME Lettre autographe signée et quatrain autographe signé adressés à Alidor Delzant : " Voici un quatrain lapidaire..." [joint] Calque original du quatrain destiné à orner le linteau de sa cheminée

Stéphane MALLARME

Lettre autographe signée et quatrain autographe signé adressés à Alidor Delzant : " Voici un quatrain lapidaire..." [joint] Calque original du quatrain destiné à orner le linteau de sa cheminée

s.d. (15 avril 1892), 12,6x16,4cm, 11,4x8,9cm et 31,9x9,9cm, 2 pages sur un double feuillet, une carte et un calque.


Handwritten signed letter and handwritten signed quatrain addressed to Alidor Delzant: “Here is a concise quatrain...” [with] Original reproduction of the quatrain destined to decorate the lintel of his chimney
 
[15 April 1892] | 12,6 x 16,4 cm | 11,4 x 8,9 cm and 31,9 x 9,9 cm | 2 pages on a double leaf, one card and a reproduction

 
 
Handwritten signed letter from Stéphane Mallarmé addressed to Alidor Delzant. Two pages written in black ink on a double leaf. Envelope attached.
 
A handwritten signed quatrain by Mallarmé on a card is attached to this letter, the one that will be used for the chimney:
Ici le feu pour renaître
Tantôt durable ou charmant
Comme l'amitié du maître
Mêle du chêne au sarment
 
Alidor Delzant was a lawyer, collector and bibliophile. Friend with the Goncourts brothers, he dedicated a book to them and was Edmond's secretary and testamentary beneficiary.
A beautiful letter mentioning the creation of a quatrain to embellish Delzant's chimney: “I am infinitely touched, and this thought, like all of yours, is gracious. Here is a concise quatrain + I recommend the engraving in capitals?; tell me if you agree.++ But do you have vine branches?”
We attach the original reproduction of the quatrain, likely produced by Mallarmé, destined to adorn the lintel of Alidor Delzant's library chimney in his Paraÿs home.
We know Delzant's reply to this letter: “My dear friend / These verses are very beautiful, just what was suited to glorify the Paraÿs Chimney where the vine shoots sparkle around the oak logs. / I remain touched and grateful. / Alidor Delzant.”
