Description

Unsigned handwritten poem in French by Jean Cocteau on an of-white 8.25 x 10.5 sheet. The poem, entitled "Soleils," reads, in part (translated): "First there is the tube sponge, the carnation of India / A child would tend that trap. The man / disguises himself as a glazier, he turns his back without appearing / to be anything. The sun is always there." In fine condition.
