No Location: s. n. 1830. Fine. I would give all of 'Cromwell' for that sigh for that lied more dream than song Fernand Gregh s. n. No Location s. d. circa 1830 25 x 19.7 cm Une feuille Autograph manuscript signed of Victor Hugos Ballade du fou sung by the jester Elespuru in his play Cromwell IV 1. Two pages on a folded leaf backed with green glazed paper. Exceptional autograph manuscript of Victor Hugos most celebrated poetic song performed by the jester Elespuru in his resounding drama Cromwell. Both grotesque and exalted this piece embodies the freedom of Romantic drama championed by Hugo in the plays famous preface: as noted by the Bibliothèque nationale de France this song is the only passage in the play as equally famous as its preface. The fine elegant script places this manuscript in the early years of Hugo's career either immediately or only a few years after the poems composition. This was in fact the very first excerpt of Cromwell ever to appear in print a year before the plays publication. Hugo chose to place the poem as the epigraph to his tenth ballad A un passant published in Odes et ballades 1826. Notably this epigraph does not appear in the manuscript of Odes et Ballades preserved at the BnF. Alongside our manuscript therefore only one other autograph example of the Chanson dElespuru survives in public institutions: within the full manuscript of Cromwell also at the BnF. This spellbinding song inspired countless poems and elicited much praise from his fellow writers: for Barbey dAurevilly Hugo is above all the balladeer of the delightful Chanson du Fou those trembling drops of dew dusky red enough to drown an entire human head in an infinity of reverie! Les oeuvres et les hommes. Steeped in Hugos verses Alfred de Musset perfectly replicated the song's structure in La Nuit one of his earliest poems. As Hovasse remarks A lot of poets would have damned themselves to write it"" quoting the poem in full in his Hugo biography. Alfred de Vigny called himself a fool for the song like the fool jester himself letter to Hugo 19 November 1826 and applauded Cromwell that immortal book"" which casts all modern tragedies into wrinkled old age. This seemingly effortless refrain is above all a dazzling demonstration of Hugos genius equally at home in every literary form. By combining pentasyllabic lines with two-syllable verses Hugo revives the lai a poetic composition used in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Its short lilting rhythm from distant centuries is nonetheless resolutely modern: a Verlaine poem before Verlaine who adopted this metrical play in Colombine from Fêtes galantes and Chanson dautomne Poèmes saturniens. The jester Elespuru who gives voice to this poem is moreover the very first character created by Hugo at only nine years old. Before viewing himself a novelist playwright or poet Hugo wrote Elespourou Elespuru in his copy of Tacitus now preserved in his house on the Place des Vosges during a very unhappy year at the colegio des nobles in Madrid. The name belonged to his schoolmate Don Francisco Elespuro a shocking great fellow with crispy hair sprawling hands ill-shapen uncombed unwashed incurably lazy using his inkstand no more than his washbowl surly and ridiculous whose name was Elespuru."" he would later recall to his wife in Victor Hugo by a Witness of His Life. He took his revenge in his own fashion depicting him as one of the least appealing figures in one of his dramas yet granting him immortality. Elespuru the grotesque jester par excellence sings the sublime in this poem one of those adorable little pieces where the giant Hugo showed that he could be as delicate as he was powerful and as mysterious as he was radiant Gregh. Hugo used the stage as the theatre of his vendettas: Elespuru then Gubetta the executioner in his Lucrèce Borgia inspired by the violent Count Frasco de Belverana who injured Hugos brot s. n. unknown
