« I will introduce you to many strange, refined, unique things that you have no idea with all your mind and have not yet spoken to you, for this requires royal spirits who understand and understand each other in everything, for everything and in spite of everything. »
Tender letter from Apollinaire, with erotic accents, wishing to introduce to the pleasures of the flesh his "dearest" Lou who occasionally stays at home. Lou discovers the poet's sulfurous library.
« You think, my dear, if the story of Lou giving a party to his friends in Guillaume Apollinaire's dovecote or perch amused me. Besides you have not seen this perch in its splendor with its precious black, Chinese statues, beautiful paintings. As you can see, it does not give the idea that it is actually in peacetime. So, my little Lou, it is on the From figurines that you fell for, this is a classic erotology manual ; it deals with all forms of kissing, but as far as I can remember there is little question of your dear vice. Forberg's notes are well made and indicate a deep science of antiquity, but when I see you again, I will make you know this antiquity much better if you are interested and other forms of kissing even deeper, and spintries [multi-partner couplings] better arranged. Please, Lou, do not show my letters, under any circumstances, if you want me to write to you as I do, without hindrance, and as to someone whose soul I esteem very very very close to mine. Le From figurines, which are just notes, hors d'oeuvres, as this chaste Forberg said in Greek, are wrong to be a compilation, it's pedantic like all compilations. You will also find several of the books of which Forberg gives excerpts: thus Félicia or mes Fredaines in 4 or 5 editions, one of which is the best half-Morocco lemon hardcover, that of 1793 and others, among which the edition of Félicia which I gave back last year. Anyway, honey, don't make me chip my books. There are very good people who have no qualms about chipping or borrowing books without ever returning them. Also does not lend to persona. It is now too hard to find curious books. I'm glad you enjoy being at home. If I see you again, I will introduce you to many strange, refined, unique things that you have no idea with all your mind and have not yet spoken to you, for this requires royal spirits who understand and understand each other in everything, for everything and in spite of everything. And so you will know many puzzles, your mind will expand, your intelligence will take all the boom it deserves, my dear. But, must be worthy of it... must remain worthy of us...you and me. I have always done what I could to be worthy of myself in front of myself ; then I have all the rights to myself in front of me. Doggy [Gustave Toutaint] ask for my address. I wrote him a card almost a week ago. Tomorrow I will write to you at length, the tramp is coming, I have to loop. I kiss you a thousand times, a thousand times, Lou! Gui. »
Guillaume Apollinaire met Louise de Coligny-Châtillon (1881-1963), in September 1914 during his stay in Nice where he awaited his military incorporation. He immediately falls in love with it. On 6 December 1914 he left to join the 38th Field Artillery Regiment at the barracks in Nîmes. Lou joined Apollinaire in Nîmes in mid-December 1914 and the two spent more than a week at the Hôtel du Midi, exploring together a sensuality that would long fuel the poet's dreams facing the horrors of war.
A connoisseur of erotic literature, Apollinaire evokes here his copy of a famous but very rare Renaissance treatise, The Hermaphroditus by Antonio Beccadelli known as "Le Palermitain", first published in 1824 by the German philosopher and philologist Friedrich Karl Forberg and translated into French by Alcide Bonneau in 1882 as De Figuris Veneris [Forms of the kiss], as well as the work of the knight Andrea de Nerciat, author of the libertine narrative, Félicia or My Fredaines.
