Correspondance complète

First edition of this pamphlet, one of 33 numbered copies on pure rag paper from the Larroque mill, ours being one of the hors commerce copies distributed to friends of Editions Unes.
This so-called "correspondence" is actually a poetic exchange of savory aphorisms facetiously attributed to various exotic traditions.
The half-title includes a whimsical volume statement: Correspondance complète (I). A second volume obviously never appeared.
Handsome copy.

Cher Roche,
« Si la pierre tombe sur l'œuf,
malheur à l'œuf,
Si l'œuf tombe sur la pierre,
malheur à l'œuf. »
(Proverbe bulgare) ["If the stone falls on the egg, woe to the egg, If the egg falls on the stone, woe to the egg." (Bulgarian proverb)]

Cher Sollers,
« Quand on pédale dans le yaourt,
on fait son beurre. »
(Autre proverbe bulgare) ["When you pedal in yogurt, you make your butter." (Another Bulgarian proverb)]
