VIVIEN Renée (Pauline Tarn, dite) [London, 1877 - Paris, 1909], French-speaking English writer. Set of 4 autograph letters signed, addressed to Kérimé: - 1906]; 5 1/2 pages in-8°. "Ma trop aimée, j'ai l'âme en peine... Your postcard came this morning. Are you sad, worried? Didn't you receive my letters? [...] Then someone (and I suspect several people) must have got hold of my letters. But that's the least of my misfortunes. I've just had a terrible scene with Eva - she won't let me leave before the 27th [...] She threatened [...] to make a scene with you, to go and talk to the Pasha.... She was almost crazy. I was so afraid of a drama, a scandal, big trouble for you that I preferred to postpone for eight days the dear joy of seeing you. [...] For some time now, I have been prey to the most overwhelming sadness. I need to get away - to run away to you ... and I'm the captive of my old love. The past holds me in its clutches .... And I struggle in vain." - [1906]; 4 pages in-8°. "Thursday evening - the 10th - I leave Paris, but Eva insists on seeing the Milan Exhibition, and I don't embark for Mytilene until the 18th. I'm afraid I won't be able, despite my feverish desire, to join you until the end of the month. Be indulgent, since you know that circumstances are stronger than my poor will. My brown princess, I'm plunged into an infinitely deep sadness, and I'm gradually drowning in it. And you don't write to me anymore. What have I done to deserve this torment? - 1906]; 8 pages in-8°. "My love, I have just received your magic letter. And I remain dazzled and charmed by it. Ah! my sweetness! my infinite sweetness! Your memory haunts me like perfume, haunts me like music. And yet my soul is so painful! On the train that took me away from you, I thought... My grief was only half stunned by the sound of wheels and scrap metal ... My whole soul was sad... You could have held me back with a word... and you didn't dare to say it! So I thought, far from you. And the fatality of existence oppressed me inexpressibly. Since my return, I remain weary and discouraged, daring nothing, wanting nothing, desiring nothing. Work tires me, solitude frightens me and yet attracts me, everything irritates and hurts me. The noise of cars under my windows is unbearable. [...] I love you with a terrible love: a love that will make me die." - 1906]; 3 pages in-8°. "My distant Beloved, I think, with such painful intensity, of your inaccessible sweetness! Amidst the ugliness and vulgarity of an overly civilized existence, the beauty of your memory remains in a charming - almost unreal - setting. Time marches on, and in the first week of August, I'll be able to see your eyes again, see your hair again, see your lips again... What wonderful destiny has mysteriously drawn us together! When I think of all this, I hesitate to believe it. I seem to have imagined a poem, quite simply ... But you, my most exquisite one, but you! I would never have had the art or the genius to evoke you, alive in your unspeakable grace!
