Émile GALLÉ (1846-1904). L.A.S., Nancy October 18, 1892, [to Robert de Montesquiou]; 1 page in-8 on his letterhead. Beautiful letter of admiration for the poet, and about the failure of a reading of his verses by Mounet-Sully. Mounet-Sully came to see him: "he stayed a little while to bibeloter like a naive and nicely ecstatic child. He holds the vases and the flowers as well as the Grail and declaims on them, marvelously, the most beautiful verses of V. Hugo. So I did not fail to make the moon cover of my dear treasure The Bats moiré. It is a temperament violently sensitive to beauty", and which will be it with the "charming verses" of Montequiou. "But it would be necessary that Ruy Blas liked them and recited them from memory, and for that Oedipus should meet the Sphinxes, or quite simply that the good Mounet should be put in a position to know your verses. He deserves it ". But his poor eyesight is detrimental to reading, and he fears that "deciphering with his eyes on his nose" will turn into a fiasco; moreover, his fatigue makes him give up. In a postscript, Gallé mentions the chest of drawers that he made for Montesquiou and that is mentioned in the newspapers.
