让-雅克·卢梭亲笔签名信:“我们这些可怜的盲目生灵啊!上天啊,请揭穿这些骗子,迫使他们野蛮的心灵暴露在世人眼前吧。” 瑞士-法国重要哲学家和作家(1712-1778),主张人的本性本善,但通常会被社会所腐蚀。 法语亲笔信,署名“J. J. Rousseau”,一页,6.5 x 8.5,1770年3月14日。致布尔戈讷总督贝弗鲁瓦侯爵的手写信,感谢他在卢梭逗留该地区期间的热情款待。 在信件开头,卢梭写下了一首发人深省的四行诗,反映了他日益强烈的受迫害感(译文):“我们这些可怜的盲目生灵啊!上天啊,请揭穿这些骗子的真面目,迫使他们野蛮的心灵暴露在世人眼前。” 随后,他请侯爵将随信附上的包裹转交给德·梅农骑士,并就其逗留期间自己和妻子所受的关照表达了由衷的感谢:“请接受我最诚挚的谢意,感谢您在我逗留此地期间给予我的种种关照。” 卢梭代表自己和泰雷兹·勒瓦瑟尔说明,尽管他们本希望亲自致意,但为了避免“重燃我们的遗憾并动摇我们已作出的决心”,他们最终选择了克制,并向贝夫鲁瓦保证,他们的感激之情丝毫未减。品相完好。 这封信写于卢梭生命的最后十年,这一时期因多年来的争议和流放,他多次更换居所。信首那首发人深省的诗句呼应了日益占据他思绪的不公与迫害主题,而字里行间温暖的谢意则展现了他对那些给予他友谊与庇护之人的深切感激之情。 这是一封精美而引人入胜的卢梭书信,既包含一首发人深省的亲笔诗作,又流露着优雅的个人谢意。
