GUILLAUME APOLLINAIRE (1880-1918)
LETTRE AUTOGRAPHE SIGNÉE à ma chère amie. Nîmes, le 22 mars 1915, 2 pages in-4 à l'encre sur papier à en-tête du café Tortoni.
Apollinaire relate ses journées comme artilleur.
'mais non ma chère amie, je ne mets pas de fantaisie dans un métier qui exige avant tout de la discipline. J'y mets de la bonne humeur comme tous mes camarades et de la poésie par surcroît parce qu'elle est de mon ressort. D'autre part la vie n'est pas aussi simple dans l'artillerie que le dépeint votre image d'Épinal'.
'L'équitation ne l'ignorez pas, surtout à l'armée est une chose belle mais difficile et pénible surtout par quelqu'un qui la commence à 34 ans'...
'Ne vous peignez donc pas ma vie comme un divertissement mais enfin elle n'est pas ennuyeuse et me plaît, traverser les villages sabre au clair est plein de charme et de grandeur'...
'Marie [Laurencin] m'a donné elle-même plusieurs fois de ses nouvelles. C'est une amie gentille'...
