Description
VIVIEN Renée (Pauline Tarn, known as) [London, 1877 - Paris, 1909], French-speaking English woman of letters. Autograph poem entitled " Que la volupté est triste ! Péra-Palace and Summer-Palace; 1/2 page in-4°. "What sadness after pleasure my friend, When the last kiss, sadder than a sob Escapes with a shudder from your blissful mouth, And that, melancholic and slow, without a word, You walk away with dreamy steps, O my friend! Like the pain of the farewell in the evening, The anguish that comes from weary voluptuousness! Like the broken song that comes to disappoint us, Like the black imperial procession which passes With the golden candles lit in the evening... And I feel you disappointed and I feel distant ... We remain, with the eyes of the exile, Following, while a frail golden thread chains us, With the same weary look our vanished dream... Other already, you smile at me, already far away... "
