ROSTAND EDMOND: (1868-1918) French Poet. An attractive and unusual autograph manuscript, one page, 4to, n.p., n.d., in French. The manuscript is entitled `Dickens´, Rostand stating in part `He is a marvelous genius he must be crowned.. He must be placed between Andersen and Tolstoy . In his fantasies, it seems that Falstaff is aureoled with tenderness, like a plum pudding with a bluer flame. And in the midst of the warm intimacy of rooms where, thanks to him, the selfish kettle sings like a poet, he causes the wind which speaks of tragic misery to blow beneath the hard doors. He has spoken about the child's tears, and the eyes of death Yes, between Andersen and Tolstoy. He is not Father Christmas, because in his sack he has something better than toys: the most beautiful stories, many dreams, and all goodness..´ Double cloth matted in green and red to an overall of 12.5 x 15. One vertical fold with text slightly light. G
