ref. 020898Louis Delluc (1890-1924), écrivain, scénariste, photographe, réalisateur. L.A.S., Paris, 1er décembre 1916, 2p in-4. A Laurent Tailhade (1854-1919), poète, écrivain, pamphlétaire. « Monsieur, Je n'ai pas eu votre adresse et je crains que l'exemplaire de "Monsieur de Berlin", à vous réservé, ne vous soit pas encore parvenu. Réclamez-le à l'oeuvre, s'il vous plait. Je ne crois pas en effet que ce livre rencontre votre hostilité. C'est un effort, non pas d'imagination, mais de littérature et de sincérité d'expression. Enfin, je suis incapable de résumer mon intention. Je suis déjà furieux de ces mots prétentieux. Vous les excuserez, et aussi mon ambition de trouver en vous un appui. Votre aide d'artiste et de juge sera pour moi le plus beau conseil du monde, et je vous en remercie déjà. Croyez, je vous prie, monsieur, à ma profonde sincérité. Louis Delluc. Demay m'avait fortement conseillé d'aller à vous et de vous interroger sur mes essais. Mais j'ai préféré attendre le moment [passage difficile à lire] pour savoir de vous si je vais me noyer ». Rare lettre de ce personnage mort jeune. [505]
