"MONSIEUR, YOU HAVE FILLED ME WITH FLOWERS AND PERFUMS, attached to each other, but that is precisely what is rare! Who doesn't know the soulless rose with the cold smell of the shop window! Yours make a cloud of scent. IN ADDITION TO MY THANKS, I WISH YOU - IN VAIN! - OF CONTINUED GLORY. - And I have the nerve to tell you that I would be delighted to go with you on the 15th to see Je t'aime [a play by Sacha Guitry first performed in October 1920]. Please accept my great admiration... " Anna de Noailles and Sacha Guitry were neighbors in Paris at the time, on rue Scheffer.
