Louis ARAGON (1897-1982). Autograph manuscript signed, From Gérard Philipe, [1959]; 4 pages in-4 with erasures and corrections. Beautiful text on the death of Gérard Philipe (November 25, 1959). "Perdican is dead. Because we were able to pass him the Cid's habit to finally sleep, the Cid doesn't die, he grows old... [...] Why is it that, of all these characters of insane courage or perversity, greatness or love, Gérard Philipe will remain Perdican for me from now on? Perhaps it's because he's the last living image I have of him, I mean in the theater, and not this shadow on the screen. Ah, what a Perdican he was! Intolerable as youth"... He regrets the missed encounters with Gérard Philipe, who had moved to 17 rue de Tournon; his operation; the silent crowd in front of the house; the sinister ballet around the death chamber... "Perdican could not grow old. At thirty-seven, the age when Pushkin, Apollinaire and Mayakovsky die, he closed his eyes before becoming different from himself [...] Gérard Philipe, behind him, leaves only the image of spring. We should be bitterly envious. Heroes like him never wrinkle [...]... All over the world, this death strikes with astonishment all those who have a head for dreams and a heart for love. All over the world, young people feel their youth has been touched [...] His loved ones have taken him to the skies of the last vacations, to Ramatuelle, near the sea, so that he may forever be the dream of sand and sun, out of the fog, and remain eternally the proof of the world's youth. And passers-by, as the sun shines on his grave, will say: No, Perdican is not dead! He had simply played too much, and needed to rest from a long sleep".
