GAY, Delphine, Mrs. Émile de Girardin [Aachen, 1808 – Paris, 1855], French writer. Signed autograph letter addressed to Miss Jenny Dacquin. Paris, June 20, 1830; 1 page, in-4°. She sends the verses her correspondent had been expecting. “To the love songs he inspired in me. So, when the seas rock his image, They make his teats tremble upon the playful waves. The pale star of the night, impervious to the storm, remains motionless in the heavens!” Another signed autograph poem is enclosed. 1 page, in-4° “O France! Acknowledge your hold over me— I have seen Naples… And yet all my wishes are still for you! Naples, divine abode, garden of Italy, Where the palm tree grows beneath a constant sun;”
