‎Natalie Clifford BARNEY‎

‎"Il y aura aussi 3 poèmes que j'ai écrits à la mémoire de Renée Vivien."" • Signed autograph letter to a friend‎

‎Paris 1952. Fine. Paris samedi 29 novembre 1952 13.50 x 20.80 cm une page sur un feuillet Handwritten signed letter addressed to a friend: “There will also be three poems that I wrote in memory of Renée Vivien” Paris Saturday 29 November 1952 135 x 208 cm one page on a leaf Handwritten letter signed by Natalie Clifford Barney addressed to a friend and written in black ink on a stationery from 20 rue Jacob Paris VIe. Central fold from having been sent. Interesting letter mentioning a future reading of Natalie Clifford Barney: ”A literary hour must be devoted to me this Wednesday at 5pm 41 rue des Petits champs. This session of my poems and thoughts will be accompanied by 4 melodies by Florent Schmidt.” The so-called “literary hour” will also be a tribute to one of Natalie's greatest loves who died several decades earlier: “There will also be 3 poems that I wrote in memory of Renée Vivien.” The two women experienced an intense and tumultuous relationship in their youth. After the tragic and early death of her lover Natalie Clifford Barney continued to honor her memory notably by becoming a patron of the Prix Renée-Vivien created by the baroness Hélène de Zuylen another of Renée's lovers. It is at the end of 1899 and through Violette Shillito that Renée Vivien – then Pauline Tarn – met Natalie Clifford Barney ""this American woman softer than a scarf whose sparkling face shines with golden hair sea blue eyes never-ending teeth"" Colette Claudine à Paris. Natalie who had just experienced a summer romance with the scandalous Liane de Pougy who introduced her to sapphism paid little attention to this new acquaintance. Renée on the other hand was totally captivated by the young American woman and describes this love at first sight in her autobiographical novel Une femme m'apparut: ""I lived again the hour already well past when I saw her for the first time felt the shiver that ran through me when my eyes met the mortal steel of her look those eyes blue and piercing as a blade. I had a dim premonition that this woman would determine the pattern of my fate and that her face was the predestined face of my Future. Near her I felt the luminous dizziness which comes at the edge of an abyss or the attraction of a very deep water. She radiated the charm of danger which drew me to her inexorably."" ""Winter 1899-1900. Beginnings of the idyll. One evening Vivien is invited by her new friend to Mme Barney's studio Natalie's mother 153 avenue Victor-Hugo on the corner of the rue de Longchamp. Natalie finds the courage to read the verses of her composition. As Vivien tells her to love these verses she tells her that it is better to love the poet. A response worthy of the Amazon."" J.-P. Goujon Tes blessures sont plus douces que leurs caresses Two years of unequal happiness will follow punctuated by Natalie's recurring infidelities and Renée's sickly jealousy the letters of which oscillate between inflamed declarations and painful admissions of guilt. ""Renée Vivien is the daughter of Sappho and Baudelaire she is the 1900 flower of evil with fevers broken-up fights sad delights."" Jean Chalon Portrait d'une séductrice In 1901 a major break-up occurred which lasted almost two years; Renée despite requests from Natalie and the others she sent to win her back resisted. ""The two friends saw each other again and in August 1905 went on a pilgrimage to Lesbos which was a disappointment for Natalie Barney and was short-lived. . The spring was broken once and for all. The two former friends stopped seeing each other in 1907 and Vivien died without them seeing each other again."" J.-P. Goujon ibid. unknown‎

‎NATALIE HEWLETT‎

‎1932 THROUGH 1999 ORIGINAL SPORADIC MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY AN AMERICAN NURSE WHO FINDS HER WAY FROM NEW YORK TO ALASKA TO MASSACHUSETTS AND BACK TO ALASKA AND BEYOND‎

‎ALASKA UNITED STATES. Good. 1932. On offer is a fascinating and unusual diary with entries covering decades in the life of an American nurse. It is the nature of these entries that gives so much value to this diary. The diary is hardcover and the cover is in reasonable condition with wear on the spine. It is a five-year diary with pages formatted for 5 entries per page. Measuring 7.75 inches by 5.5 inches it contains 365 pages and is approximately 15% complete. Natalie Franz Hewlett was born in 1907. She grew up in Stockbridge Massachusetts. She was 25 years old and living in New York City with her husband Arthur when she began her diary. They had one daughter Anna. Hewlett passed away in Juneau AK in 2004 at the age of 97. Although the diary is a five-year format she ignores the printed format when it suits her. For example her entry for Nov 3rd 1932 takes the entire page. In another departure she does not follow the dated format of the pages either: i.e. the aforementioned Nov 3rd entry is written on the page marked for January 5th. There are also huge time gaps in her entries. They range from 1932 to 1999. They are in no particular order. Where the value lies is in the snapshots they provide of her life over nearly three quarters of a century. For this perspective it is easy to overlook her unconventional use of the diary. The first seven pages of the diary contain entries for Jan 1 Sept 18 Oct 17 & 18 Nov 4 8 and 16 and December 25. The next few pages have their dates crossed out and instead an entry for November 8th 1936 is written which sums up the previous few years: "I hadn't realized how long it was since I last wrote in this book - so much has happened Notable events are - Nov. 1934 we had a fire in my dressing room - we lost all our clothes but everyone was so nice and I think we were better off than before . April 1935 lost a seven months baby boy I suppose I was lucky to escape with so little trouble. Of course we were disappointed as we have been married for five years" Nov 8 1936. In the same passage she notes that Arthur has started a business - Long Island Canine Catering a business that struggles. However she also notes: ". On this Nov 4 1936 we celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary. We went to town N.Y to dinner and then saw Helen Hayes in Victoria Regina. It is an excellent play and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Being married for six years" Nov 8 1936. In a couple of entries she makes her political beliefs plainly understood in the election contest between Herbert Hoover and Franklin D Roosevelt: "Election Day - Hoover & Roosevelt - Roosevelt won much to my disgust - Hoover has done so much for this country and seems honest which is more than you can say for most political men" Nov 8 1932. On Nov 4th was election day. Roosevelt vs Alfred Landon Governor of Kansas - As we were against Roosevelt and his reckless spending we were very disappointed when Roosevelt was re-elected by a sweeping majority Nov 4 1936. Trained as a nurse at St. Like's Hospital New York during World War II she worked as a nurse's aide for the Red Cross. Encouraged by friends who served as missionaries in Alaska and inspired after hearing Episcopal Bishop Peter Rowe speak of his experience the Hewletts decided to move to Alaska in the late 1940s. They settled first in Anchorage later moving to Homer where her nursing skills were invaluable. She delivered many babies. Her husband started the first Bank of Homer in their basement and customers often had to walk through the family laundry drying on the line to do business. Her husband died in 1953 and she eventually sold the bank and returned to Anchorage. This was a significant move for them as they were leaving all their family and social acquaintances behind. There is also a reference to the antisemitism that pervaded life in mid-century America. "We are selling all our household in preparation to go to Alaska to try our fortune there. We have felt that if we haven't made much progress here and living is so expensive that possibly Alaska will open up new business. . Too we would like to offer Nancy our precious daughter broader fields in culture which is definitely not here . I have no regrets about the house but I do mine very much selling some of our nice furniture to Jews. …" Oct 12 1945. She and her husband built a life for themselves in Alaska with Arthur passing away there in 1953. She returned to Massachusetts for 15 years but eventually moved back to Alaska. Her diary entries are sporadic over those years mostly recounting the daily events of her life: "Sun. Rain - Went to museum at 11am very busy - don't know where everyone came from. Called Carol Hand in Greenwich N.Y. as A.A. died of cancer. Remember him so well when he was little. Then went to Tracy Ann's house - It was beautiful" July 24 1988. "Fri. Cloudy - Paid my I.R.S. quarterly - Can't believe I owe so much $695.00 - Went to Hannah Daniels house - Walked - Foodland - I was so exhausted and ached so by the time I reached Park Shore - It's not for either - Scares me how my legs are so bad - Poured rain P.M ."Sept 15 1990. All-in-all this is a wonderful series of 'verbal snapshots' of a woman's long life in 20th century America. She often references people by their full names which can make this a valuable genealogical reference. As well a social historian would find many of her entries interesting glimpses in the attitudes of middleclass Americans in the pre and post war eras of the United States.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF UNITED STATES NASSAU COUNTY 1930S GREAT DEPRESSION 1940s 1980s NATALIE HEWLETT; NATALIE CAROLINE FRANZ JUNEAU; ALASKA; HERBERT HOOVER; FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT; ST.
