PAGÈS DU TARN (1795-1866); LAMARTINE, Alphonse de (1790-1869). Autograph poem addressed to Lamartine, with Lamartine's autograph letter signed in reply.
Interesting group of literary autographs comprising a lengthy poem addressed by Pagès du Tarn to Alphonse de Lamartine, together with the autograph letter signed in which the French poet replies to its author. The poem, entitled À M. de Lamartine and signed Pagès du Tarn , celebrates the poet in a distinctly Romantic vein. In his reply, Lamartine states that he has read the verses avec un vif intérêt and, while modestly deflecting the praise bestowed upon him, recognises in them sentiments born of une imagination véritablement inspirée , while applauding sans réserve à la forme poétique . He concludes with mes remerciements et mes félicitations and signs Lamartine . A contemporary or slightly later note, Avec les vers autographes de M. Pagès du Tarn dont il est question dans cette lettre , confirms the direct connection between the two documents.
Two autograph manuscripts, comprising the poem signed Pagès du Tarn and an autograph letter signed Lamartine . Folded sheets (foxing, traces of handling and minor marginal defects). (2)
