Guillaume APOLLINAIRE (1880-1918). L.A.S. "Gui", Nîmes December 26, 1914, to Louise de Coligny-Châtillon; 4pages in-8 in pencil on Gd Hôtel du Midi & de la Poste paper. Beautiful, loving letter to Lou. "Mon amour très chéri, aujourd'hui 2 lettres de toi [...] Tu penses si je suis content. Quarters free again, but as we have to be back at 3 a.m. for the watering hole, I didn't dare ask permission for the boot, having had it yesterday and expecting to ask for it tomorrow. I'll telegraph you the time of my arrival in Nice. [We can get good rooms here at 20 francs a month" .... But the news is "not good. A brigadier who has his wife in Compiègne said she wrote him that they were going to evacuate that town. And if Compiègne is taken, Paris is threatened, invested perhaps, and then goodbye charming projects, money to come! My darling, I adore you more and more every minute. Your dispatch yesterday was an exquisite joy for me. Yes! my Christmas is your love, and your dispatch brought you so close to me that I kissed it a thousand times. I'm not surprised you're praying to God in church. All great questions, said Donoso-Cortes (if not his own words, at least the meaning), all great questions, all great things, go to or come from theology. No wonder our love, the greatest thing we know, my darling, goes to God. [...] Yes, darling, I had the best Christmas ever - your love! Darling, I'll keep every promise I've made to you. No, I'm not asking you to get up and I don't want to hurt you in any way. I have courage for everything, except for anything that might threaten you and our love". His secretary Jean Mollet was skeptical about his love: "I laughed and yelled at him in my reply. This brave fool really has a bad opinion of me. But I can't explain to him all the strength of this love which is more than heaven to me, my darling". He goes on to talk about Eugène Montfort, whose magazine Les Marges had been partly financed by Marie Laurencin's German husband: "all he talks about is bashing the Krauts after begging for their money, since he had a lot of German shareholders, Kessler among them, and I, in my magazine Les Soirées de Paris, never wanted German money, except from subscribers, because you can't prevent someone from subscribing to a magazine". And he concludes: "I love you with all my strength, with all my soul, with all my heart, with all my being. It's freezing cold. I kiss you everywhere and bite your lips. You're playing lizard in the sun, you indolent beauty". He adds that he visited the Maison Carrée, and the Nîmes museum, "to see the original portrait of Lucretia Borgia, the reproduction of which adorned my highly successful book La Rome des Borgia, published in 1913"... Lettres à Lou, n°27.
