Dior Dune Fake Versus Real

A new addendum to the "Bulletin des Amis de Saint-Pol-Roux" No. 4

We have to obviously, completeness is impossible. I had already been noticing a few months ago when the friend C. Arnoult unearthed in Wolves Belval-Delahaye, the apology by Ryner of The Lady and the Faulx short but interesting apology unearthed too late for inclusion in the final Bulletin of the Friends of Saint-Pol Roux- devoted to the impossible representation damalafalcique. I therefore reproduce, here, Addendum first published on the blog Han Ryner . Now, lo and behold there that I found in a number of beautiful magazine, The Argonauts , monthly poetry founded and directed by Camille Lemercier of Erm (Managing Editor: Paul Tort), the No. 8 to be precise, surprisingly dated January 1909, a leading article of the director-founder himself, who deserves in turn be placed in the file representation of the impossible ... and turn into another addendum. It speaks, as we read, the banquet Saint-Pol-Roux and death of Catullus Mendes.
The Golden Fleece
The living and the dead
Saturday, February 6, a banquet attended by Gruber at the tavern friends and admirers of the poet Saint-Pol-Roux, nicknamed "the Magnificent", perhaps because of his imposing presence of a musketeer, mainly because of his literary theories. Mr. Leon Dierx presided, assisted by Catullus Mendes. And it was, from the two major Parnassiens, a touching gesture and little trite as to honor their presence and their sponsorship of this event in honor of Symbolism. All the elite of the new generation was there, busy ... At toasts, curious spectacle! The room takes on a public meeting. Bohemians drunken scream of animals and engage in demonstrations of "symbolism" frantic. MM. Leon Dierx, Gustave Kahn, Catullus Mendes, Max Anhély (sic), the good poet Paul Fort, Jean Royer, director of "La Phalange", successively taking the floor amid a tumult varied. Mr. Saint-Pol-Roux finally speaks, thanks, very elegantly holds forth and declare, among other things, that the date of Poetry Symbolism, was born with him, which may appear slightly exaggerated.

Finally, we did sign an address to Mr. Claretie, inviting him to represent "The Lady and the Faulx " Saint-Pol-Roux on stage at the French Theatre. We all signed, but Mr. Claretie, I fear, has not countersigned.

Now here until after that memorable evening when Mr. Mendes Catullus gave, by his mere presence, a fine example of artistic tolerance to his young colleagues, we have just learned of the death tragic poet.

Catullus Mendes was for half a century one of the highest figures of French literature. Since the time of its inception to 1860, he produced an incredible fertility and a greater mastery over one hundred books of all genres, and one could wait for the indefatigable writer works fine and numerous, as Rejane was to play him a Napoleonic drama "The Empress ", the Opera to mount the "Bacchus " he wrote to Mr. Massenet and, before his death he was still working at his ballet "The Feast at Therese" which Mr. Reynaldo Hahn composed the music.

has been accused of not being Catullus Mendes a creator. It remains However, one of the great pioneers of Parnassus. However, Parnassus, which seems very old now, and which is in effect, was, lest we forget, daring in 1860, as well as the symbolism was daring in 1885. And the glory of Parnassiens has not been stifled by the anger of "symbolos," Verlaine said as they tried to operate from the corpse.

Last year, Coppe! Recently Sardou and Merat! stand today, Mendes! and among actors, both Coquelin! An entire generation who died in a short time.

What will the new one that rushes noisily in power? What is poetry of the twentieth century? The celebrities of tomorrow they will be worth the glories of yesterday? Hopefully, believe it, it veuillons with Saint-Pol-Roux. But tonight, thank you not forget our struggles to make a fair and just tribute to our great predecessors of Parnassus, Francois Coppe and Catullus Mendes.
Both are dead! Lord, your right is terrible ...
LEMERCIER CAMILLE OF ERM

And Lemercier MRE (1888-1978), which we appreciate the poise, could rightly regret the quarrels of schools since Argonauts was a truly hospitable magazine that welcomed all generations. She counted among the collaborators or announced its ten deliveries: Catullus Mendes Leon Dierx Goffic The Charles Emile Blemont Jean Richepin Remy Gourmont Verhaeren, Gustave Kahn, Jean Moreas Tristan Klingsor, Leon Riotor Albert St. Paul Victor-Emile Michelet, Fernand Gregh, Ricciotto Canudo, Valentine de Saint-Point, Guillaume Apollinaire, Marinetti, etc.. What is not nothing. Lived little magazine. Camille Lemercier MRE should reorient its quest for a golden fleece more political man who had sub-titled his Argonauts, "Journal anthology of French poetry" Breton founded the Nationalist Party and became the herald of the separatist cause.
